Auto start mission on restart

[Breau]

Anyone know how to get your missions to auto start when the server reboot without having someone to login to arma 3 and join the server ? ATM I got my battleye auto restarting my server but it does not start the missions ?

[Dwarfer]

Add -autoInit to your star-up of the server 

[Breau]

Any how to do this with TADST ?

[RC_Robio]

Hardly any admins use TADST.. But if you have too put it in the parameters box, or the extra parameters box in the details tab  -autoinit

[Breau]

ok yeah I started with it with my old wasteland server I like GUI lol. now I look at what you just said and it was right in front of my face lol

 

Thanks bud

 

cheers

It seems like my battleye only restart the server when there is someone online, is there anyway I could add in my scheduler just to auto restart after 3 hours lets say ? 

 

Here is my config: 

 

<Scheduler>

<job id="0">

<start>034500</start>

<runtime>000000</runtime>

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

<loop>0</loop>

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

</job>

<job id="1">

<start>035000</start>

<runtime>000000</runtime>

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

<loop>0</loop>

<cmd>say -1 Server Restart in 10 Minutes!</cmd>

</job>

<job id="2">

<start>035500</start>

<runtime>000000</runtime>

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

<loop>0</loop>

<cmd>say -1 Server Restart in 5 Minutes!</cmd>

</job>

<job id="3">

<start>035800</start>

<runtime>000000</runtime>

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

<loop>0</loop>

<cmd>say -1 Server Restart in 2 Minutes! LOGOUT NOW!</cmd>

</job>

<job id="4">

<start>040000</start>

<runtime>000000</runtime>

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

<loop>0</loop>

<cmd>#restart</cmd>

</job>

</Scheduler>

You could do something a little more than #restart. I do a kill command for A2. A3 I moved to firedaemon but this still workings. I rename my BEC to match the instance but you could just change bec2302.exe to bec.exe.

 

Hope that helps.

 

<job id="7">
<start>060000</start>
<day>1,2,3,4,5,6,7</day>
<loop>0</loop>
<runtime>000000</runtime>
<cmd>C:\Games\BecA2\kill\2302.bat</cmd>
<cmdtype>1</cmdtype>
</job>

2302.bat

@echo off
taskkill /F /IM Bec2302.exe
exit

yeah ure right I can use good old dos or powershell to do it for me. Thanks bud 

[The__Eye]

Try this or any others from the Tools from the Resources in the Fourum     Works great on mly server 

[Breau]

Here is the little powershell script I wrote below, just paste into notepad, save as whatevernameuwant.ps1 and setup as a task. Just changed whatever config files and stuff you have and point the parameters to it, I used the TADST as they were already done for me and setup the task to run this script every 4 hours.

 

I hope it help someone.
