Complete Guide to Creating Automatic Schedules

The Schedule feature lets your server do tasks automatically without you having to monitor it 24 hours. For example: the server automatically restarts every morning, or automatically performs a backup every few hours.

Creating this schedule is divided into two stages that must be done in order: Stage 1 (Creating the Schedule/Time) and Stage 2 (Adding the Task).

Stage 1: Creating a Schedule​

The first step is determining WHEN the system should work.

  1. Open the Game Panel and go into your server.
  2. In the menu on the left, click Schedules.
  3. Click the blue Create schedule button.
  4. A settings window will appear. Fill it in according to the guide below:
    • SCHEDULE NAME: Give it any name so you remember it (Example: "Morning Auto Restart").
    • Schedule interval: Click and select how often this schedule repeats.
      • Minutely: Repeats every few minutes.
      • Hourly: Repeats every few hours.
      • Daily: Runs every day at a certain hour.
      • Weekly: Runs once a week on a certain day.
      • Monthly: Runs once a month on a certain date.
    • Timezone Offset: Make sure you select Asia/Jakarta so the time matches Western Indonesian Time (WIB). a
  5. Leave the other settings (like Schedule Enabled) turned on, then click the blue Create schedule button at the very bottom.

Stage 2: Giving It a "Task"​

Once the time schedule is created, it's still empty. We have to tell the server WHAT to do when the time comes.

  1. On the Schedules page, click the Schedule Name you just created in Stage 1. a
  2. In the top right corner, click the blue New Task button.
  3. A task settings window will appear. In the ACTION section, choose one of the tasks to run:
    • Send command: Sends a command into the game (Example command: say Server will restart in 1 minute). Note: Don't use the leading slash (/).
    • Send power action: To control the server machine (Options: Start, Stop, Restart, or Kill).
    • Create backup: Tells the panel to back up your server files. a
  4. In the TIME OFFSET (IN SECONDS) field, it means setting the delay time (in seconds).
    • If this is the first task, fill it with the number 0.
    • If you have a follow-up task, you can set it to wait (Example: type 60 so this task waits 1 minute after the previous task finishes).
  5. Finally, click the blue Create Task button. Done! a
