Daily Restart

Description
- Automatically attempts to restart your server once a day only if its has no players on it

- Servers often don't get restarted unless they crash and often after a few days of uptime they can start to perform badly and people complain of lag

- Assuming you are using something to restart your server when its shutdown, like serverdoc it will work correctly (most gsp's will have scripts automatically restart servers when hlds crashes/shutdown anyway)

How to install:
- Find your plugins.ini in your config folder (addons/amxmodx/configs/plugins.ini) open it in notepad and type restart.amxx
- Click Get Plugin below and place the restart.amxx in your plugins folder (addons/amxmodx/plugins/)

people who run 24/7 servers without a timelimit will appreciate this...

especially when they would run the server for days on end without a restart and wonder why everyone complained it was incredibly laggy

atm it hooks off mapchange so it wouldnt work if the timelimit is 0 im trying to think of a better way to do it

I didn't know there's an event "30".

But anyways, you can try set_task on an extremely long time, even though it's not really a good idea. What you could also do is hook client_disconnect, check if the time is overdue, and if it is and there's no one else on the server, restart it.

is it possible for it to work say at midnight every X days?

How it works is saves the last restart date in the vault, when the function is called, which is currently done on mapchange it checks if the currentdate and the saved last restart date match, if so it carrys on with the changelevel.

If the dates don't match it checks if there are any players on the server excluding bots, if there are no players restart (saving the last restart date), else carry on with the changelevel. This will repeat each changelevel until it has an opportunity to restart.

Wouldnt you rather your server restarted when it doesn't have players on, rather than when it does have players on?

If you really really wanted to do it on midnight you could see if your provider will do a cron job as that would probably be more efficient or theres probably a task scheduler plugin for amxx floating about somewhere.

Yea i thought about that although when the map changes everyone is disconnected and the function would be run x howevery many people were on the server, i wasnt sure if that could possibly cause problems?

Ill test it and If its not an issue ill update it to disconnect

Good job, going on my server because it laggs once in a while...

[BACARRA]

watch. the problem is my server is never empty so it wouldn't work if you say empty server.

suicide. if its not too much of a problem, can you make a version like that?

You would be better off using a cron job if you can set one up or using this
