Solved Auto-restart server every X hours?

Basically I just want my server to auto-restart every X hours and display messages in the chat such as: Server restarting in X minutes or X hours. I don't know if there are any plugins to do so though and was wondering how I could achieve this. Any help is appreciated.

 

Smooth Restarter for Rust | Oxide use the search option in the top right corner next to your name to find resources easily

 

I saw that plugin but I don't understand how it works because Wulf said a plugin can't restart a server, but a script can.

 

mmmm? afaik this plugin works to restart a server, I have used it before and it seems to restart properly

 

So basically I can make it restart at for example 12 AM every morning and 12 PM every night or something like that? Also, is there any way for it to install the newest server and Oxide builds on every Thursday for me?

 

read the overview page for the plugin it will tell you everything you need to know

 

I suggest Timed Execute | Oxide as it works flawlessly with restarting both my servers.

Does it twice a day without fail.

 

Ok but if I were to use TimedExecute how would I make it say in chat that the server is restarting in X minutes then have it Actually restart?

I tried using the restarter.exe with timedexecute but I don't understand how to set it up.

 

Code:

{
  "EnableInGameTime-Timer": false,
  "EnableRealTime-Timer": true,
  "EnableTimerOnce": false,
  "EnableTimerRepeat": false,
  "InGameTime-Timer": {},
  "RealTime-Timer": {
    "11:59:00": "restart 60",
    "23:59:00": "restart 60"
  },
  "TimerOnce": {},
  "TimerRepeat": {}
}

this will restart your server twice a day 12am and 12pm with timedExecute

 

Do I also need the restarter.exe still with this? Also, where would I put that code would I replace the default code there already?

 

For my server I took the example batch file that came with oxide, changed the title, and edited the internals. Now that I have that plugin installed, does that mean that the command at the end of the batch will restart the second it quits through the plugin? Also, the only thing that I see that involves the server restarting is the part at the beginning where it says @echo off and at the end where is says restarting server.

 

Ok great thanks but just one more question. I tried to customize the script a little bit by adding server text when the server is going to restart but it throws an error at me upon boot up of the server about ':' being an invalid character but I don't know what to change.

Code:

        {
            "EnableInGameTime-Timer": false,
            "EnableRealTime-Timer": true,
            "EnableTimerOnce": false,
            "EnableTimerRepeat": false,
            "InGameTime-Timer": {},
            "RealTime-Timer": {
                "11:29:00": "say 'Server will restart in 30 minutes.'",
                "08:20:00": "say 'Server will restart in 15 minutes.'",
                "08:30:00": "say 'Server will restart in 5 minutes.'",
                "08:34:00": "say 'Server will restart in 1 minute.'",
                "08:35:55": "say 'Server is now restarting. Please wait.'",
                "08:36:00": "restart 60",
                "23:29:00": "say 'Server will restart in 30 minutes.'",
                "23:44:00": "say 'Server will restart in 15 minutes.'",
                "23:54:00": "say 'Server will restart in 5 minutes.'",
                "23:58:00": "say 'Server will restart in 1 minute.'",
                "23:58:55": "say 'Server is now restarting. Please wait.'",
                "23:59:00": "restart 60"
            },
                "TimerOnce": {},
                "TimerRepeat": {}
        }

 

Bump. This isn't really solved it still doesn't work can anyone answer my last question?
