So I am nearly done setting up my server, all i need to have in it to finish is some sort of automatic restart script. I've looked around and I can't figure out what to use. 

I'm hosting my own server so any direction or help is greatly appreciated! 

It's Epoch 1.0.6

I'm fairly new to this coding stuff so the easier it is the better. I just don't know where to start

Thanks!

I do it like this.

You need BEC installed for the scheduler and then make 3  .bat files.

First called Server_Restart.bat

  

@echo off
echo.
echo KILL arma2oaserver.exe
set serverkill="YOUR SERVER ROOT PATH"
cd /d %serverkill%
taskkill /im arma2oaserver.exe
echo.
echo Kill Bec.exe
set beckill="YOUR BEC PATH"
cd /d %beckill%
taskkill /im bec.exe

timeout 5

echo.
echo Rotate Logs
start "start" "ROTATE LOGS .BAT PATH" 

timeout 5


echo.
echo Starting Dayz Server
:: start the server..
set dayzpath="YOUR ROOT PATH\"
cd /d %dayzpath%
start "start" "Server_Start_New.bat"
echo.
echo Starting Bec
timeout 20
:: start bec
set becpath="YOUR BEC PATH"
cd /d %becpath%
start "start" "bec.exe" -f Config.cfg
echo.
echo Server Started 100%

cls
@exit

 

second called Server_Start_New.bat 

timeout 5

::Start Dayz Server::

start "arma2" /HIGH /affinity 2  "arma2oaserver.exe" -ip=xx.xx.xxx.xx -port=xxxx -maxmem=2047 -noPause "-config=instance_11_Chernarus\config.cfg" "-cfg=instance_11_Chernarus\basic.cfg" "-profiles=instance_11_Chernarus" -name=instance_11_Chernarus "-mod=@DayZ_Epoch;@DayZ_Epoch_Server;"

cls

@exit

 

Third called rotate_logs.bat, this isnt necesary if you dont want it though.

In your BEC scheduler.xml, the last two jobs should be

  


    <job id="8">
        <day>1,2,3,4,5,6,7</day>
        <start>023000</start>
        <runtime>000000</runtime>
        <loop>0</loop>
        <cmd>#shutdown</cmd>
    </job>
	
	<job id='9'>
	<day>1,2,3,4,5,6,7</day>
	<start>023000</start>
	<runtime>000000</runtime>
	<loop>0</loop>
	<cmd>YOUR ROOT PATH\Server_Restart.bat</cmd>
</job>
</Scheduler>

 

There are other ways, incuding a monitor.bat file, which auto re opens if arma crashes, but I havent got around to doing that yet.

Thanks for the help.
I'm stuck somewhere though. When I go to run bec.exe i get an error in the command prompt that says it cannot locate the BEserver.cfg file. Now i looked around and I don't have that file in my battleye folder. Other people I see just made one and put some text in it.
RConPassword NotTellingYouLot
MaxPing 250
That's what I found. 
Any ideas why it wont load?


Thanks!

here you have my files: http://www.mediafire.com/file/6afp6inam56tfq2/autorestart.rar

1-Drop battleye folder into serverRoot\instance_11_Chernarus\

2-The others 3 .bat files must be in your serverRoot-

3-now you need change the paths in the files:

A-open "monitor.bat" (located in your serverroot) and change the paths for your server route.
B-open "Premod_restart.bat" (located in your serverroot) and change the paths for your server route.
C-open "BEC_Control_Epoch.bat" (located in serverRoot\instance_11_Chernarus\BattlEye\Bec) and change the paths for your server route.
D-open "Config.cfg"(located in YourServerRoot\instance_11_Chernarus\BattlEye\Bec\Config\) and change the paths for your server route.

E-open "Shedule.xml" (located in YourServerRoot\instance_11_Chernarus\BattlEye\Bec\Config\)
and  needs add this at each last shedule id job: 

<cmd>C:\Users\Administrador\Desktop\Dayz Epoch Server\Premod_restart.bat</cmd>

 (change for ur server paths).

My example: 

 <Scheduler>

<!-- 12:00 AM restart -->

<job id="0">
    <time>23:45:00</time>
    <delay>000000</delay>
    <day>1,2,3,4,5,6,7</day>
    <loop>0</loop>
    <cmd>say -1 This server will restart in 15 minutes</cmd>
    <cmdtype>0</cmdtype>
</job>

<job id="1">
    <time>23:55:00</time>
    <delay>000000</delay>
    <day>1,2,3,4,5,6,7</day>
    <loop>0</loop>
    <cmd>say -1 This server will restart in 5 minutes</cmd>
    <cmdtype>0</cmdtype>
</job>

<job id="2">
    <time>23:59:00</time>
    <delay>000000</delay>
    <day>1,2,3,4,5,6,7</day>
    <loop>0</loop>
    <cmd>say -1 This server will restart in 1 minute, Log out now!</cmd>
    <cmdtype>0</cmdtype>
</job>

<job id="3">
    <time>00:00:00</time>
    <delay>000000</delay>
    <day>1,2,3,4,5,6,7</day>
    <loop>0</loop>
    <cmd>#shutdown</cmd>
    <cmdtype>0</cmdtype>
</job>

<job id="4">
    <time>00:00:10</time>
    <delay>000000</delay>
    <day>1,2,3,4,5,6,7</day>
    <loop>0</loop>
    <cmd>C:\Users\Administrador\Desktop\Dayz Epoch Server\Premod_restart.bat</cmd>
    <cmdtype>1</cmdtype>
</job>

<!-- End 12:00 AM restart -->

 

for now on,, start your server clicking on "monitor.bat".. the restart will be each 3hours. example 00:00hs , 03:00am, 06am, 09am, 12pm, 15pm, 18pm, 21pm, 00,00am.  To test it.. change the hour of your pc.. for example put 23:55am.  start your server with monitor.bat and when your pc clock shows 00:00hs server must be made the restart.
