Scheduled restarts with countdown and quick commands

Restarts, backups and commands on a schedule – with a warning to players 10, 5 and 1 minute beforehand. Plus one-click quick commands in the console.

Create a schedule

  1. Server page → Schedules tab → New schedule card.
  2. Under What should happen? choose Restart, Backup, Command (e.g. save-all or say …) or Stop.
  3. Enter a time and under How often choose Every day or Once a week (with weekday).
  4. Click Create schedule.

Under “Your schedules” you can run any schedule once right away, pause it or delete it. Schedules follow the server's time. A restart also runs when the server is currently stopped – backup and command only when it is running.

Countdown for players

For Restart and Stop you can have players warned beforehand (the box is ticked by default). The server then posts a chat message 10, 5 and 1 minute before, saves the world shortly before (where the game supports it) and then restarts. For this, the schedule starts 10 minutes before the time you entered – so the list shows e.g. 04:50 for a restart at 05:00.

The countdown is available for games with a chat command: Minecraft (Java and Bedrock), Terraria (including tModLoader), Rust as well as Counter-Strike 2, Counter-Strike: Source, Counter-Strike 1.6, Garry's Mod, Left 4 Dead 2 and Sven Co-op. The in-game messages are in German.

Quick commands in the console

In the Console tab, some games have a Quick commands card – one click instead of typing a command. The server must be running.

  • Minecraft (Java): set day or night, clear weather or rain, save world, peaceful, difficulty normal, keep inventory on/off, teleport player to player, give diamonds.
  • Minecraft Bedrock: set day, clear weather.
  • Terraria: day, noon, night, save world, settle water/lava.
  • Rust: save world, set day or night.
  • Counter-Strike & other Source games: restart round, change map.
