Server → Schedules → Create schedule. A schedule has a cron time (when it fires) and a list of tasks that run in order, each with an optional offset in seconds after the previous one.
Task types
- Send command: types a command into the console (
say Restart in 5 minutes,save-all,saveworld). - Power action: start, restart, stop, kill.
- Create backup: a panel backup; rotates the oldest unlocked one when the slots are full.
Three schedules worth having
Nightly restart with warnings (Minecraft, cron 55 4 * * *):
- Send command
say Server restart in 5 minutes(offset 0) - Send command
say Server restart in 1 minute(offset 240) - Send command
save-all(offset 50) - Power action restart (offset 10)
Daily backup (cron 0 4 * * *): one task, Create backup.
Hourly save reminder (survival games, cron 0 * * * *): Send command saveworld (ARK) / Save (Palworld) / sa (7 Days).
Only when online
Tick Only run when server is online so a stopped server is not woken up by a backup task at 4 a.m.
Time zone
Schedules run in the panel's time zone, which is Central European time (CET/CEST, the same clock as Germany). 0 4 * * * is 04:00 German time.
