BEC Scheduler

ThelMightylThor · December 3, 2014

Could somebody take a look at my scheduler.xml and tell me why it is not working?

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<cmd>say -1 Server restarts on 6 hour intervals at 12 am, 6 am, 12 pm, and 6 pm EST.</cmd>

</job>

<cmd>#restart</cmd>

</job>

<cmd>#restart</cmd>

If you just copied and pasted then edited the template provided in ibattle you probably have a bunch of spaces in front of the text.

It's very particular and has to be perfect.

Open you scheduler.xml with notepad++ make sure it is still spaced properly and using the arrows do through each line one at a time pressing the end key each time and backspacing any space in front of the last >

This was what got mine working.

Use this as an example, highlight the text starting from the left in the box.

this extra space is bad>

I tried that and I don't notice any extra space, does the scheduler need to be defined anywhere besides BEC\Config\Config.cfg ?

this is what my config.cfg looks like

#GENERATED AUTOMATICALLY BY VERT HOSTING

[bec]

Ip = 162.223.29.138

Port = 2552

BePath = C:\TCAFiles\Users\ThorJ\1516\ServerConfig\BattlEye

Admins = Admins.xml

Commands = Commands.xml

LogDir = Server1

[Misc]

Scheduler = Scheduler.xml

AsciiChatOnly = True

IgnoreChatChars = ��

ConsoleColor = 1f

Timeout = 90

KickLobbyIdlers = 500

I use also use vert, for my public servers, they use an outdated version ;)

Try this:

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<Scheduler>

<job id="0">
    <time>000300</time>
    <delay>000000</delay>
    <day>1,2,3,4,5,6,7</day>
    <loop>0</loop>
     <cmd>say -1 Im Working!!!</cmd>
    <cmdtype>0</cmdtype>
</job>

</Scheduler>

3 min uptime you should a message.

ThelMightylThor · December 3, 2014

Okay thanks I will try that.

oSoDirty · December 3, 2014

Also note that your server will think its whatever time it is where the database is located, not your server its self or your computer. I actually have to set my restarts an hr earlier on my scheduler and it does it on time. (00:00:00) is (23:00:00) and i restart every 3 hrs starting 12am EST. So you may run into this as well even though, (im guessing) you have a Georgia server. Test it once you get the other working by changing the time to a static setting a few minutes out from when you are going to be logged in and see what you get. Give yourself plenty of time to edit the scheduler and restart the server.

Okay I tried the example scheduler you posted earlier and that didn't work either. I sat on the server until debug menu said 10 minutes uptime and got nothing.. I am going to email vert and see what they say.

They'll get it working for sure. They have never let me down,

This is what mine looks like with 5 hour restarts just in case they cant help

As you can see I have a bat file that shuts down the server and then restarts it, I also have an advertisement that goes every 15 minutes, Tell me if this helps you

oSoDirty · December 3, 2014

I use the shut down command. But i feel like sharing something i found for other dedi users.

@echo off
color 0a
title Server Starter
:top
echo Launching And Watching Server
start /wait "arma2" /min "H:\overpochinsServer\arma2oaserver.exe" -port=6660 "-bepath=H:\overpochinsServer\BattlEye" "-config=instance_13_Tavi\config.cfg" "-cfg=instance_13_Tavi\basic.cfg" "-profiles=instance_13_Tavi" -name=instance_13_Tavi "-mod=@Origins;@DayzOverwatch;@DayZ_Epoch;@DayZ_Epoch_Server;"
ping 127.0.0.1 -n 5 >NUL
echo Server has exited ... Restarting!
ping 127.0.0.1 -n 1 >NUL
cls
goto top

Just replace the start line with your start line in your .bat file. This will monitor the server and restart it if any thing causes it to crash including BEC.

@echo off
color 0a
title Server Starter
:top
echo Launching And Watching BEC
ping 127.0.0.1 -n 30 >NUL
start /wait "" /min "H:\overpochinsServer\ServerTools\bec.exe" -f config.cfg
ping 127.0.0.1 -n 5 >NUL
echo Server has exited ... Restarting!
cls
goto top

Just correct the file path and leave arguments on start line. This one will do the same for BEC but does a 30 sec ping to give the server time to boot. The 1st time you use it it will tell you the config cant be found in blah\blahfolder. Thats because it isn't in that folder, Just put it there, and all will work fine. can also place these in your startup folder as well as xampp and set it to autoconnect. It will also work against computer crashes as well.

I take no credit for this, all i did was take one used for the DayZ vanilla mod and make it work for epoch and BEC.
