Best solution for scheduled restarts with announcements?

All,
I have seen so many post but nothing with details on setting it up. I would like to know what is the Best Solution for auto restarts every 12 hours and announce it to the server in chat it is about to restart.

I have searched and I have not found a detailed guide for this. Wanted to see what everyone else is doing.

 

Configure a shutdown using TimedExecute and run your server in a batch file that restarts the server when it goes offline.

Code:

:loop
RustDedicated.exe <params>
goto loop

 

The way i do it: server plugin, shuts down at a given time. I have a custom exe watcher on the machine that senses when the rustdedicated.exe isnt running anymore and launches it.

 

I still dont know what to do? I dont understand sorry

 

My conf

Code:

  "RealTime-Timer": {
    "00:00:00": "say '<color=#d55763>ATENÇÃO</color>: SERVIDOR REINICIARÁ EM <color=#a2d557>7</color> HORAS'",
    "01:00:00": "say '<color=#d55763>ATENÇÃO</color>: SERVIDOR REINICIARÁ EM <color=#a2d557>6</color> HORAS'",
    "02:00:00": "say '<color=#d55763>ATENÇÃO</color>: SERVIDOR REINICIARÁ EM <color=#a2d557>5</color> HORAS'",
    "03:00:00": "say '<color=#d55763>ATENÇÃO</color>: SERVIDOR REINICIARÁ EM <color=#a2d557>4</color> HORAS'",
    "04:00:00": "say '<color=#d55763>ATENÇÃO</color>: SERVIDOR REINICIARÁ EM <color=#a2d557>3</color> HORAS'",
    "05:00:00": "say '<color=#d55763>ATENÇÃO</color>: SERVIDOR REINICIARÁ EM <color=#a2d557>2</color> HORAS'",
    "06:00:00": "say '<color=#d55763>ATENÇÃO</color>: SERVIDOR REINICIARÁ EM <color=#a2d557>1</color> HORA'",
    "06:55:00": "say '<color=#d55763>ATENÇÃO</color>: SERVIDOR REINICIARÁ EM <color=#a2d557>5</color> MINUTOS'",
    "06:59:00": "say '<color=#d55763>ATENÇÃO</color>: REINICIANDO O SERVIDOR!'",
    "06:59:05": "server.restart"
  },

will restart every day at 06:59:05 (windows)

but.... Not working on linux, does anyone know a solution?

 

my mistake, is only "restart", correct?

 

Only in the Linux, correct? Because in windows it restarts normally.

 

So is there a add on I should be using to then do all the above? I am using the startup example that is in oxide to start my system that is all.

So every day I login and reboot it by hand. was looking for something easier that I would understand how to setup

Something else I wanted to check on was I know has nothing to do with this.

I wanted to add some stuff to stop the Choppers and stuff so i just put it in the
rustserver\server\my_server_identity\cfg\serverauto.cfg

I did
fps.limit "256"
global.perf "0"
heli.lifetimeMinutes "0"
server.pve "true"

I tried to do a server.cfg but could never get it to read at all. I figured me doing something wrong. Then i read that new versions don't read a server.cfg even if you put it in the same folder as serverauto.cfg

can you tell me if I have done anything wrong here I am willing to learn or suck up any information your able to provide me.

This is my _start.bat file

Code:

@echo off
cls
:startRustDedicated -batchmode -nographics +server.ip 192.168.1.232 +rcon.ip 192.168.1.232 +server.port 28015 +rcon.port 28016 +rcon.password "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" +server.maxplayers 100 +server.hostname "Clumsy's Rust RP Server" +server.identity "my_server_identity" +server.level "Procedural Map" +server.seed 229509 +server.worldsize 3950 +server.saveinterval 300 +server.globalchat true +server.description "Powered by Clumsy People" +server.headerimage "http://www.gameonline365.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/logo1_290x281.jpg" +server.url "http://www.gameonline365.com@echo.
@echo Restarting server...
@echo.
goto start

 

So I did a global.restart in the console and the system restarted after a 60 sec timer and the system restarted and came back up. uptime went from 16 hours to 4 min now.

So couldn't I just have rusty issue that command at a set time? But have it say the server is rebooting at a set time before hand or is there a plugin or easyer way so i don;t have to rely on Rusty

 

So just make a server.cfg in the same area my serverauto is? or different location and then in my start up place a call to it like -cfg /folder/folder.server.cfg

or is it done auto and I don;t have to call in in the start up anymore?
[DOUBLEPOST=1460134153][/DOUBLEPOST]BTW thanks @Wulf

 

@Wulf Dose it show sir in the console that is loaded the file at all or it just dose. Sorry just a visual person wanted to see if I could see it load make sure it is being read.

I can see the plug ins but that is all.

 

Yes i was trying to figure out in the console dose it show with the server.cfg file I made loads.
