Solved Server info and automatic restarting

Run your server in a start.bat like this:

Code:

@echo off
:loop
RustDedicated.exe <your params>
goto loop

Then use the latest version of TimedExecute with a config like this:

Code:

{
  "EnabledRealTime-Timer": true,
  "EnableTimerOnce": false,
  "EnableTimerRepeat": true,
  "RealTime-Timer": {
    "04:50:00": "say The server is restarting in 10 minutes.",
    "04:59:30": "say The server is restarting now.",
    "05:00:00": "quit"
  },
  "TimerRepeat": {
    "server.save": 300
  }
}

 

Here is my config that works. Restarts every 6 hours. For my server Afterlife.

Using Timed Execute :

Code:

{
  "EnabledRealTime-Timer": true,
  "EnableTimerOnce": true,
  "EnableTimerRepeat": true,
  "RealTime-Timer": {
    "22:00:00": "say 'Restart in 3 HOURS'",
    "23:00:00": "say 'Restart in 2 HOURS'",
    "00:00:00": "say 'Restart in 1 HOUR'",
    "00:30:00": "say 'Restart in 30 Minutes'",
    "00:45:00": "say 'Restart in 15 Minutes'",
    "00:50:00": "say 'Restart in 10 Minutes'",
    "00:55:00": "say 'Restart in 5 Minutes'",
    "01:00:00": "say 'The server is restarting NOW.'",
    "01:00:00": "server.save",
    "01:00:00": "global.restart",
    "04:00:00": "say 'Restart in 3 HOURS'",
    "05:00:00": "say 'Restart in 2 HOURS'",
    "06:00:00": "say 'Restart in 1 HOUR'",
    "06:30:00": "say 'Restart in 30 Minutes'",
    "06:45:00": "say 'Restart in 15 Minutes'",
    "06:50:00": "say 'Restart in 10 Minutes'",
    "06:55:00": "say 'Restart in 5 Minutes'",
    "07:00:00": "say 'The server is restarting NOW.'",
    "07:00:00": "server.save",
    "07:00:00": "global.restart",
    "10:00:00": "say 'Restart in 3 HOURS'",
    "11:00:00": "say 'Restart in 2 HOURS'",
    "12:00:00": "say 'Restart in 1 HOUR'",
    "12:30:00": "say 'Restart in 30 Minutes'",
    "12:45:00": "say 'Restart in 15 Minutes'",
    "12:50:00": "say 'Restart in 10 Minutes'",
    "12:55:00": "say 'Restart in 5 Minutes'",
    "13:00:00": "say 'The server is restarting NOW.'",
    "13:00:00": "server.save",
    "13:00:00": "global.restart",   
    "16:00:00": "say 'Restart in 3 HOURS'",
    "17:00:00": "say 'Restart in 2 HOURS'",
    "18:00:00": "say 'Restart in 1 HOUR'",
    "18:30:00": "say 'Restart in 30 Minutes'",
    "18:45:00": "say 'Restart in 15 Minutes'",
    "18:50:00": "say 'Restart in 10 Minutes'",
    "18:55:00": "say 'Restart in 5 Minutes'",
    "19:00:00": "say 'The server is restarting NOW.'",
    "19:00:00": "server.save",
    "19:00:00": "global.restart",   
  },
  "TimerOnce": {
  },
  "TimerRepeat": {
    "event.run": 300,
    "server.save": 120,
    "callheli": 7200
  }
}

 

Would be better if it said Restarting

 

Then change it ?

 

Was saying you need to change yours I dont use it

 

Hey Wolf is there a Bat command/file that you have for dedicated server that will auto update Steam and (Oxide) i know how to do the steam one but not update oxide too and was wondering if there was a way to run a bat file to update Oxide?

 

Solved - Minor build numbers - do I need them? | Oxide

 

Thanks alot man!

 

@echo off
:loop
RustDedicated.exe <your params>
goto loop


Does this no longer work? I use TimedExcute and the server shuts down but never starts back up . It was working like two weeks ago?

 

Yeah it shuts down fine, just wont restart back up. Now type quit in console then it will shut down and restart back up fine .. this is my TimedExcute config.

Code:

{
  "EnabledRealTime-Timer": true,
  "EnableTimerOnce": false,
  "EnableTimerRepeat": true,
  "RealTime-Timer": {
    "10:59:00": "say The server is restarting in 1 hour.",
    "11:50:00": "say The server is restarting in 10 minutes.",
    "11:59:30": "say The server is restarting now.",
    "12:00:00": "quit"
  },
  "TimerRepeat": {
    "server.save": 300
  }
}

 

Code:

This is the only error i see but yet it continues to reload it?
A plugin wouldnt stop it from restarting with the .bat commands though would it?

 

I assume it has something to do with you changing the batch script while running the server through the batch script.
I've noticed that when changing the batch file while running the batch script simply quits.
This issue didn't occur on Windows Server 2008, while it did on Windows Server 2012.

The probable cause is explained here: Changing a batch file when its running
"The command interpreter appears to remember the byte offset within each command file it is reading, but the file itself is not locked, so it is possible to make changes, say with a text editor, whilst it is running.

If a change is made to the file after this remembered location, the interpreter should happily continue to execute the now modified script. However if the change is made before that point, and that modification changes the length of the text at that point (for example you've inserted or removed some text), that remembered location is now no longer referring to the start of that next command. When the interpreter tries to read the next 'line' it will instead pick up a different line, or possibly part of a line depending on how much text was inserted or removed. If you're lucky, it will probably not be able to process whatever word it happen to land on, give an error and continue to execute from the next line - but still probably not what you want."

I assume the reason why it occurs on '2012 but not on '2008 is that '2012 probably made changes to the batch implementation, resulting in it behaving differently in non-standardized situations like editing the batch script.
Basically, it skips the goto because it's trying to execute some fragmented command as a result of you changing the file, invalidating the offset pointer, resulting in the batch script quitting.
To solve this issue, set every parameter possible in your server.cfg instead of the launch arguments to avoid having to change the batch script.

 

ahh that makes sense...

Yupp im on Windows 2012 too.

 

Okay so I installed the TimedExecuted and used the config file for restarting every 6 hours. Now what do I do with this text to get the server automatically turned on?

Code:

@echo off
:loop
RustDedicated.exe <your params>
goto loop

What would I call the file that this code goes into? Where would I place the file and what goes in <your params> ?

 

Here is a sample restart bat file

Code:

@echo off
cls
:start
echo Starting server...RustDedicated.exe -batchmode -nographics +server.ip 0.0.0.0 +rcon.ip 0.0.0.0 +server.port 28015 +rcon.port 28016 +rcon.password "changeme" +server.maxplayers 10 +server.hostname "My Oxide Server" +server.identity "my_server_identity" +server.level "Procedural Map" +server.seed 12345 +server.worldsize 4000 +server.saveinterval 300 +server.globalchat true +server.description "Powered by Oxide" +server.headerimage "http://oxidemod.org/styles/oxide/logo.png" +server.url "http://oxidemod.org"echo.
echo Restarting server...
echo.
goto start

After RustDedicated.exe fill in your info from your bat file

 

Okay and does it matter what I call this file so it restarts when it goes down? Also I place in the main directory with rustdedicated.exe correct?

 

Does not matter what the bat file is called and yes it goes into the same place as RustDedicated.exe is
