IDEA: server restart when empty for x time

Post by imafiretruck »

Is there a setting that will reboot the server at night when the servers been empty for x minutes?

So like 4-8am if no one is on for 2hrs it will self reboot once in a 12 period?

I was looking for the same thing, like a cron setting or something that would reboot at 5.am, Im talking BF3 server not the whole server. I find I re-start my server before I go to work, 7:30'sh log on for a round or too and it fills right up...for the whole day....

We have a system that will look for empty servers in the early morning and start rebooting them.

The VDS/machines themselves won't be restarted, because this does not improve performance. We typically only reboot machines to apply security updates.
