Re: Restart server at x time

not sure if this will help..On my old server i just used punkbuster with its timer.. then at around 3am had pb execute /quit command, but I think my host had a script to reboot quake if that was done. Maybe yours does too?Instead of pb timer you'd just use the crontab.txt to execute.

well if you run pb you can do it this way for sure
pb_sv_task 86400 0 quit

86400 being 24hrs in secs and pb starts time when server starts. so you'd start the server at the time you'd want it to reboot at.

hope this helps.-dis

if so, then put this line to your crontab.txt:
0 5 * * *       /quit

'5' means 5 o'clock in the morning

Re: Restart server at x time

"rcon" stands for "remote console" to make changes on server with commands sent from clients console - no need to use it in scripts uploaded on server.

You can execute script in crontab with /exec restart.cfg,
but your script would have only quit command in it.
Do you also want to have a "shortcut" for (de)activating this restart feature?
