Use Schedules to automate tasks.

  1. Schedules → Create Schedule. Name it and set when it runs (minute, hour, day of month, month, day of week). For example, 0 6 * * * runs every day at 06:00.
  2. Open the schedule and add tasks in order. Examples:
    • Send command: an in-game warning such as say Restarting in 5 minutes on Rust, or broadcast on ARK via RCON.
    • Send power action → Restart, with a time offset after the warning.
    • Create backup.
  3. Tick Only when server is online if a task should be skipped while the server is off.

A daily restart keeps most game servers fast and stable.
