Server Automation

[Wierd657]

I would like to know how, if even possible, for the server to automatically save itself at a configurable interval and reboot at a set time of day.

It is possible as the server I help run does that. I know that if you use (or could get, I think its free) McMyAdmin it is very easy to set up. You just have to create an event. This is the only software I have any real experience with so past this I hope you get a solution.

Thanks so much for the speedy reply. I will reply after I try this.

Your welcome. I don't know how hard it is to set up as I was not the one who did it but it is very easy to use so it might be worth the hassle. Also, it lets your admins, with a username and pass word, gain access to the console if you trust them making it so that they can do plugin management, console commands, edit player groups, and reboot the server. Its good to know that your server can be restarted even when your not home!

It's not exactly what I had in mind, but I'll continue to mess around with it. I was thinking of some way to embed a command into the server that, for example, have it restart at 3:00am or save the world every 15 minutes by itself without admin intervention.

You can do that with McMyAdmin. You go to schedule and you enter you paramaters. For the restart it would be Time, 3:00, restart server

and for the saves it would be Every, 15 min, save world

or along the lines of.

If you don't want to use it I'd bet theres a plugin for that.

Well I got it too work to my liking and it is shear server management perfection! Thanks to much! The only thing I couldn't figure out is how to allocate more ram to the server.
