1. First of all: I want to do this on a VANILLA server without Oxide.

    Can you help me accomplish this? I have my own windows machine.

    I want to kill "RustDedicated.exe" every 12 hours - then update the server (or check for updates) via a batch file and start the server when the update is finished.

    Is it possible to close the server entirely via the console/rcon or will it just restart when I type 'stop'?
