Server restart warnings

[Bungle]

Hi Guys,

 

I have been looking (Not that hard) and wondering if there is way to setup messages that appear just before restart.

 

Any feedback appreciated.

I use Server Messages;

ServerMessages: auto global RCon messages

I use BEC for automated messages and restarts.  Easy to setup, scheduler is pretty powerful.  Currently have mine giving tips in-game, such as "Crouch when in towns or near zombie hot-spots, it could keep you out of sight."

Setup BEC to run as a service using Firedaemon or similar, setup schedule to include warnings and the restarts themselves (#shutdown) and use an autorestarter batch file to boot back up again.

 

Here's my autorestarter.bat, note it only works on 1 server, if you have multiple DayZ or Arma2 servers you will need to rename the .exe's
