Schedules
How to create scheduled tasks for automatic restarts, backups, and commands.
Schedules let you automate server tasks like restarts, backups, and commands on a recurring basis.
Creating a Schedule
- Go to the Schedules tab on your server
- Click Create Schedule
- Enter a name for the schedule (e.g., "Daily Restart")
- Set the cron timing using the provided fields:
- Minute — 0–59
- Hour — 0–23
- Day of Month — 1–31
- Month — 1–12
- Day of Week — 0–6 (Sunday = 0)
- Toggle Enabled to activate the schedule
- Click Create
Common Cron Examples
| Schedule | Minute | Hour | Day | Month | Weekday |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Every 6 hours | 0 | */6 | * | * | * |
| Daily at 4 AM | 0 | 4 | * | * | * |
| Every 30 minutes | */30 | * | * | * | * |
| Weekdays at noon | 0 | 12 | * | * | 1-5 |
Adding Tasks to a Schedule
Each schedule can have multiple tasks that run in order. Click on a schedule to edit it, then click New Task.
Task Types
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Send Command | Sends a command to your server console |
| Send Power Action | Start, stop, restart, or kill the server |
| Create Backup | Creates a server backup |
Time Offsets
Each task can have a time offset (in seconds) from the previous task. This lets you chain actions — for example, send a warning message, wait 60 seconds, then restart.
Example: Restart with warning
- Task 1: Send command
say Server restarting in 60 seconds!— offset: 0s - Task 2: Send command
say Server restarting in 10 seconds!— offset: 50s - Task 3: Power action Restart — offset: 10s
Running a Schedule Manually
Click Run Now on any schedule to execute it immediately, regardless of its cron timing.
Deleting a Schedule
- Open the schedule
- Click Delete Schedule
- Confirm the deletion
📝 Note: Your plan limits how many schedules you can create. Delete unused schedules to free up slots.
💡 Tip: Set up a daily restart schedule for busy servers — it clears memory leaks and keeps performance smooth.
