What is the best or easiest way to implement a scheduled/automated graceful shutdown of a dedi server?

[Clifford]

Perhaps more to the point; is there a way to post a command (such as "quit();" or "restartserver(30);") to the server console via .cmd/.bat?

I've used FireDaemon for some time for other things, but even its "Graceful Shutdown" option for consoles is limited to ctrl+c/ctrl+brk. So to my knowledge FireDaemon is not the best choice on this one(?).

I don't know a way to post directly a command to the server console, but you can use a telnet session for it. Connect via telnet, execute your commands etc. written down in cmd/bat file. This cmd/bat file can be executed by FireDaemon Pro. That could work.

Extract shutdown.cs.dso to server and add line to main.cs
saying

Code: Select all

exec("shutdown.cs");

To restart server enter game, toggle GM mode on. Open up client console and enter

Code: Select all

commandtoserver('RestartServer',MINUTES);

where Minutes is a value in minutes that you want to restart in.

to Cancel

Code: Select all

commandtoserver('CancelRestart');
