2 hour restart scheduler problem

[sirblockwood]

Ok i have a mega problem...i set my server to restart ever 2 hours with multiple warnings here is the code

 

<!-- 1h 30m Warning -->

<job id="0">

<time>003000</time>

<delay>000000</delay>

<day>1,2,3,4,5,6,7</day>

<loop>1</loop> 

<cmd>say -1 Server Restart in 1.5 Hours </cmd>

<cmdtype>0</cmdtype>

</job>

 

        <!-- 1h Warning -->

        <job id="1">

<time>010000</time>

<delay>000000</delay>

<day>1,2,3,4,5,6,7</day>

<loop>1</loop> 

<cmd>say -1 Server Restart in 1 Hour </cmd>

<cmdtype>0</cmdtype>

</job>

 

       <!-- Half Hour Warning -->

       <job id="2">

<time>013000</time>

<delay>000000</delay>

<day>1,2,3,4,5,6,7</day>

<loop>1</loop> 

<cmd>say -1 Server Restart in 30 Minutes </cmd>

<cmdtype>0</cmdtype>

</job>

 

        <!-- 15 Min Warning -->

        <job id="3">

<time>014500</time>

<delay>000000</delay>

<day>1,2,3,4,5,6,7</day>

<loop>1</loop> 

<cmd>say -1 Server Restart in 15 Minutes </cmd>

<cmdtype>0</cmdtype>

</job>

 

        <!-- 5 Min Warning -->

        <job id="4">

<time>015500</time>

<delay>000000</delay>

<day>1,2,3,4,5,6,7</day>

<loop>1</loop> 

<cmd>say -1 Server Restart in 5 Minutes.Lof off now to save your gear! </cmd>

<cmdtype>0</cmdtype>

</job>

 

       <!-- 1 Min Warning --> 

        <job id="5">

<time>015900</time>

<delay>000000</delay>

<day>1,2,3,4,5,6,7</day>

<loop>1</loop> 

<cmd>say -1 Server Restart in 60 Seconds! </cmd>

<cmdtype>0</cmdtype>

</job>

 

<!-- END: 2 hour restart -->

 

first off the 1.5 hour goes off okay but when it comes to the 1 hour reminder the 1.5 also shows up and it does not show the 60 second warning what so ever...what am i doing wrong? 

[Winter189]

Where are you putting this code?

[sirblockwood]

bec scheduler.xml i believe  in the configuration files on my control panel for vilayer

[MatthewK]

I can only see from that code that you haven't included the "restart" command itself.  Just the messages warning players that it's going to restart ;)

[sirblockwood]

i set up the restart in the scheduled tasks 

[MatthewK]

Ah wait. I see what you've done. 

 

The 30 minute timer, will run every 30 minutes.  

That's why you're getting it again at the 1hr restart too.  

 

You also need to put the restart in the scheduler, as the scheduler and scheduled tasks don't always play nice.  But it's your call on that one, either way. Your issue with the 30 minute message is because scheduler is doing what you've asked it to do :P

[sirblockwood]

what i want it to do is when the server restarts after 30 min has past it shows a message saying 1.5 hours before next restart and then 1 hour and then 30 min and then 15 min then 5 min then 60 seconds..see what i mean?

[MatthewK]

Edit: See my post below....

[MatthewK]

You could also set the loop to 0 , like <loop>0</loop> 

So it only runs once per server restart , sorry my bad, should have seen that earlier ;)

[sirblockwood]

thanks i will give that a try

[kat]

Heres mine, pretty straight forward. Restart every 3 hours.

[sirblockwood]

for some reason my restarts are 3 minutes off from the messages..when it says 5 minutes until restart its nearly 2 minutes to restart and it never shows the 60 seconds message due to being off by 3 minutes!

[MatthewK]

Yeah, because you need the restart command to be run from your scheduler.xml , not the cpanel schedule (cron) tool.  

 

@Kat, yours wont work on his server unless he has the restart script: <cmd>C:\SERVERMILI\BEC\Restart.bat</cmd>

 

Here's mine, adjust it for your needs sirblockwood ( note the shutdown command in the last block, this will shutodown and restart the server, it should work on any server ):

[MatthewK]

The top schedule isn't right, you need to set it to:

 

   <job id="0"> 

        <time>003000</time>  

        <delay>000000</delay> 

        <day>1,2,3,4,5,6,7</day> 

        <loop>1</loop>                          

        <cmd>say -1 Server will restart in 1.5 hour.</cmd>     

        <cmdtype>0</cmdtype>                 

    </job> 

 

 

Also, change the loop from 1 , to 0.  So your half hour schedule doesn't repeat every other 30 minutes ;)

 

It's 2.30 am here, so if I've missed something I'm sure one of the gurus on here can spot it.

 

Other than that, you're good to go.
