You can set up automatic schedules to start, restart, stop your server, or send console commands, at the times you choose.
Note
All schedule times are in UTC +0, so enter your chosen time in UTC. You can use the conversions in the table below.
Creating a Basic Schedule
Creating a schedule only takes a few steps. The example below uses the Daily Server Restart template, which is the quickest way to get started and a good first schedule to set up. You just pick a time, and we configure the restart task for you.

Not all games support console commands, so the console command action will only work on games that do.
You can add more than one task to a single schedule and run them in order. Use the delay field, set in seconds, to control how long each task waits before it runs.
Popular Times for Restart Schedules
Since schedules run in UTC +0, here are the times to enter for a 4 AM restart based on your server's location. If you are using the Advanced option, the matching cron expression is included too.
