BEC scheduler help

[BLFonsworth]

I'm using the #restart command instead of #shutdown. Is this correct? Or am I supposed to do #shutdown and then a job to #restart?

 

There are tons of tuts on how to type the proper format but none on giving proper commands to resrat correctly..

 

I read somewhere if you use the #shutdown command you need some sort of monitor running to detect the server is down and bring it back up. Why do that if you can just use the #restart command?

Are you saying it is not working?

Are you saying it is not working? 

 

Sort of..

 

After I posted this, the server went through 2 restarts..

 

The #restart command seems to only restart the mission, I was not in the server playing when it restarted the first time but one of my other admins was, and he says it seemed to have restarted like usual..but when i checked the server control panel, it said it was still running and had not restarted.

 

So,

 

I switched to the #shutdown command and it DID shut the server down and then boot back up according to the control panel log, but the mission didn't start.. I tried to connect and all I got was the "waiting for host" screen. I had to do a manual reboot to make the mission script start..

 

would I need to give a #shutdown command and then a #restart command?

[Turtle]

what you have to do is locate it to your serverrestart.bat file, this is what DayZPriv used to do atleast. I dont know if you have to make one or what but this is how mine was set up (every 3 hrs)

If you do use this just make sure you change the mssages and that you locate it to the right file at the restart command.

Thanks for your help and the code examples. I just found an option on my server host to set a scheduled restart without using BEC, so I'm going to use tht and just hav the warning messages in BEC..

no problem, hope everything works out.
