View Full Version : [ANY] Server Crontab
Server Crontab v2.0.0.0
About the plugin:
Run server jobs at certain Minutes, Hours, Days of the Week and Days of the Month. Admins will need the ROOT access flag to Add, Remove or View Cronjobs. To get a better idea of what cronjobs are, check out the official Wikipedia article here (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cron)
Full documentation and Examples (https://dubbeh.net/sourcemod-plugins/server-crontab/)
Download (https://dl.dubbeh.net/sourcemod/servercrontab/servercrontab_2000.zip)
The actual plugin won't compile directly on the forums because of custom natives. Full source is included in the download.
Have fun, dubbeh :)
Another ace addition!
I was looking at the chron one and decided it was a little OTT, this looks perfect. Will be giving this a bash tomorrow.
BTW really dumb question, does this execute on every map change? As in your example you have used the plugin to change the mapcyclefile, would you remove the mapcyclefile reference from the server.cfg file or just leave it be???
Matt
thx pimpinjuice :)
MoggieX this runs the selected config/setting at the specified time in the jobs.ini - recommend to remove the settings you'll be changing from the server.cfg. so it doesn't get reset at every map change :)
next release will include checking that the job.ini settings are in valid ranges & allow the hour option to have a wildcard
Could you add a roundend / roundstart feature? Not really a cronjob, but would be usefull for several functions.
Thanx for filling my request :) When I have some time im gonna test it :)
dubbeh wouldn't it be nice if plugins could register cron jobs for their own use?
If you don't know how, I can help you

Heya,
Many thanks for clarification for that!
Oh and ty for building it!!!

>- Isias;524026']Could you add a roundend / roundstart feature? Not really a cronjob, but would be usefull for several functions.
I'll get something like that added in a later version, got a few ideas for the internal structure that will allow jobs like that to be set
@nican nice idea. I could add some stocks RegisterCronJob then return the job index for removal later on & UnregisterCronJob using the job index. I'll have a look into it. Also planning on using the adt array for an unlimited number of jobs soon ;)
Yay!
If you need help, created the natives, using adt_array, just PM me...
post removed
got the module based plugin released now ;)
Ok.. how I have 1 comment and 1 idea:
comment: Why did you make all natives already with a defined value of 0 or nothing?
idea: how about a forward "forward OnCronCall(CronId)"?
Why did you make all natives already with a defined value of 0 or nothing?
I thought thats what the value gets set to if someone does RegisterCronJob() without passing any arguments, then it will default all the values to 0.Think it would be better to set the times to -1, so they're out of range & dont get past the initial tests ;)
idea: how about a forward "forward OnCronCall(CronId)"?
With this do you mean when the cronjob is about to run then pass this forward with the id
ah cool i thought that was it
I'll get that added now ;)
Files updated with OnCronCall forward - allows cron jobs to be skipped if the plugin requests it :mrgreen:
edit.
Fixed a couple of small bugs with the global forward
Can this be done?
Cron a gungame on Thursday all day then return back to regular mapcycle
FlyingMongoose
08-31-2007, 02:21
gungame has an enable/disable cvar does it not?
Now this means gungame will always be loaded, but otherwise...yeah that'd work...the next best thing is setting up a batch file to copy/remove files along with a timer based on your OS, but a lot of people don't have that kind of access to their servers.
I have access to my server. So would this work then?
// Basic Server Crontab configuration file
//
// # = Weekday. Use * for all days of the week. Format is 0 = Sunday to 6 = Saturday
// # # = Hour of the day. The hour is in 24h format (0-23)
// # # # = Minute of the Hour (0-59)
//
// Load GG on Thursday 5am
4 5 0 "es_load gungame4"
// Unload GG on Friday 5am
5 5 0 "es_unload gungame4"
yeah, that would work fine falco
yeah, that would work fine falco
Excellent, Thanks for the plugin. Another question, you would put the mapcyclefile in the cstrike folder? // Set the map rotation to aimmaps.txt everyday at 6am
* 6 0 "mapcyclefile aimmaps.txt"
// Set the map rotation to normal.txt everyday at 7pm
* 19 0 "mapcyclefile normal.txt"
I'm sure the mapcycle file is read from the default mod folder ;)
edit.
on another note put up the latest module - fixed a few bugs with the arrays & renamed/added a few more natives ;)
Working on the main frontend atm, new supported commands will be:
bsc_addjob weekday hour minute "cronjob" - Add a new cron job
bsc_removejob cron_id - Remove the cron job using the cron id
bsc_removealljobs - Remove all the current cron jobs
bsc_printjobs - Prints all the current cron jobs & Id's
Plugin updated to v1.0.0.0
Now module based & allows other plugin authors to add/remove their own cronjobs ;)
Learnt quite a alot of new things from rewriting this plugin to be module based
This is a suggestion/idea.
Situation:
Unfortunately we have been facing a lot of crashes in the last few weeks. Just to put you at ease it wasnt BSC ;)
What happened was that it would load the different mapcycle for the time of the day, but after a crash would just go back to its old mapcycle.
Suggestion: Have the cron apply for a period and let it check back with every map switch.
Say mapcycle1 applies from 12:00 till 23:00 when the server crashes and reboots the cron checks what time it is makes sure mapcycle1 is stil the mapcycle in use.
Its an idea and dont know if its possible, but would be sweet.
Is there a timer execution feature ? Like exec "mp_friendlyfire 1" 5 minute after mapchange on every maps...
I'll look into these features for the next release, might rename the plugin to server crontab after these requests have been fulfilled
Will make the plugin more like a nomal server crontab with basic & more advanced features - the next update might take me quite some time with a few parts of the plugin needing quite a big recode
Released version 1.0.1.0
- Plugin renamed from Basic Server Crontab to Server Crontab
- Rewritten/Changed some parts of code to support job start & end times
The syntax for adding jobs has changed a little bit to support job start & end times :)

Im having some problems getting this plugin to load other plugins and execute admin commands. I'm trying to get it to do the following in a TF2 server.
At 11pm server time switch to a different map cycle, the mapcycle file is int he default tf2 directory with the regular default mapcycle.txt
At 10:59 - set the next map to ctf_2fort
At 10:59 - Disable the load Lock
At 11:00 - Load a LateNight plugin that executes a different config on every map load
At 11:01 - Re-enable the load lock
Repeat this process in reverse at 10am the next morning to undo the changes and go back to 'normal' mode. Any help would be appreciated.

Could you allow a cvar or option that will not execute if over a certain amount of people? I only use your plugin for server reboots at 5am and would rather not reboot it if there are people there. Have it like not execute if there are more than 5 players? Know what I mean? This would be very helpful.
Thanks!

is there any way to use quotes in the command that being executed, im trying to change the hostname, and our hostname has spaces in it
put the command to change the hostname in cfg, and then exec cfg with crontab
request - diffrent kind of times that can be used as example count downs instead of hardcoding every minute remaining (server reboot)
example on how i mean is:
sc_addjob ? ? 4 4 50 59 "sm_hsay Daily server reboot in %(60 - $minute) minutes"
would give:
Daily server reboot in 10 minutes
Daily server reboot in 9 minutes
...
Daily server reboot in 1 minutes

Can you add more than one crontab such as "mapcyclefile 247dust sm plugins unload mapchooser"
Or Do I have to make a seprate job for each one.
And you should really update your main thread since the old cvars are still on there bsc_.

They would need to be separate lines, as each one is executed very minute or so, when active.

Want to have it change from 30 minute before map changes to unlimited from 10pm until 6am. Am I doing executing an cfg file that forces the map to change? and then sets the mp_timelimit to 0?

It requires the .inc file to compile, and the webserver doesn't have that. Just download the precompiled .smx file or compile it locally.

im not sure if this counts as a valuable contribution - but it works absolutely fine for me,
Windows xp, 1.1.0r2474 (so yeah lil out of date there).
So far it works for me, you just gotta know what your doing, or else you can easily get confused and mess everything up.
Line 63 should be commented out or removed in sc_module.sp since closehandle will stop the timer so one doesnt need to both kill and close handle like current version
public OnPluginEnd ()
{
if (g_hJobsTimer != INVALID_HANDLE)
{
// KillTimer (g_hJobsTimer); // <- comment this out to avoid a error on unload
CloseHandle (g_hJobsTimer);
g_hJobsTimer = INVALID_HANDLE;
}

How often will it execute commands//set variables? Just at the given time or will it do it every map change or something?
Only at specified times, example I use it to restart the server 5.00 in the morning but you can have it to perform something on regular basis too

Could someone help me here... I want to make the server remove the timer at 10pm and re-enable the timer at 10am the next day... I am having some trouble getting the mp_timelimit to execute. Could someone show me how to setup the sc_jobs.cfg, and tell me where & to put the mp_timelimite, and how to get it to execute...
Thank you!
Think something like this would do the trick :)
// after 10 pm we will have mp_timelimit 20 min
sc_addjob ? ? 22 22 0 1 "mp_timelimit 20"
// after 10 am we will have mp_timelimit 10 min
sc_addjob ? ? 10 10 0 1 "mp_timelimit 10"
Read the cfg file top on what each column mean, and move one minute between end and start if you want it to execute only once.
So in the above example your timelimit would not be guaranteed to be correct incase of a crash since it will only be set once during the day.

At line 62 in sc_module:

KillTimer calls CloseHandle, the handle will be invalidated thanks to KillTimer, remove CloseHandle.
Why is this cronjob running every minute?
The config reads;
sc_addjob ? ? 10 22 ? ? "mapcyclefile day.txt"
sc_addjob ? ? 22 10 ? ? "mapcyclefile night.txt"
In the sourcemod logs is displays every minute;

Tnx in advance
yes it is, use the command "quit" (assuming that you have a script that starts it or run linux) and patch the plugin to get rid of those uggly error messages (sc doesn't close correctly) and also be wary of some stuff that doesn't always start correctly :p

There is one simple fix that both I and flying mongoose posted about (this page and previous) that cause an ugly error log but doesn't really hurt.
ex from my clan-servers and how they do:
// Reboot the server everyday of the week at 5am
sc_addjob ? ? 5 5 0 1 "quit"Some plugins will give ugly output since they don't like reboot but it works and one can often fix fix those plugins with very little effort :)

I see bizu has had problems with the cvar as well. Might be a widespread problem possibly

// Set the map rotation to aimmaps.txt everyday.
// Starting at 1am and ending at 7pm

// Set the map rotation to normal.txt everyday.

Greetings there.
I am running this script on my server and I have noticed an issue with the minute variables.
i.e.
5 5 16 18 ? ? will run an event on Friday between 4 and 6 PM and the event will occur every minute.
likewise 5 6 16 18 ? ? will run an event every minute between 4 and 6 on friday and saturday.
But if you try for example... 5 5 16 18 20 40 (to run an event, every minute, between 20 and 40 mins) it will only trigger on the first minute.
Likewise, 5 5 16 18 ? 40 - you would expect to run an event every minute from 4PM to 4:40 PM and again from 5PM to 5:40PM ? This does not happen, and in fact just keeps on triggering the event all the way through.
Likewise, 5 5 16 18 20 ? will only run an event once, and not continue it till the end of the hour.
The minutes and wildcard issue surrounding them seems to be messed up. Can someone tell me I am going crazy.?
Which module should be installed , in order to run it? Since its .smx and it has sourcemod folder.

Does being compiled on the 'latest' sm make any difference than just downloading the pre-compiled ones in the opening post?
Does a SQL version exist?

this plugin in was working on this one server a week ago, then i disabled it, and now it wont work anymore, and it still works on my local host server (copied smx from there and here)
minimal changes have been made to the server, and none that i would think would cause it to fall apart all of a sudden.
it loads the plugin and i can use the command sc_addjob but it doesnt do anything, it would seem as if the time detection is broken on it some how :/

Hey I'm trying to run a certain mapcycle from 2 am to 9 am does this seem setup right?
sc_addjob ? ? 2 9 ? ? "mapcyclefile night.txt"
sc_addjob ? ? 9 2 ? ? "mapcyclefile mapcycle.txt"
If you use this plugin, don't unload it when server run. (Example you want change Warmode_on.cfg via Admin menu)
It will crash server

Failed to compile on forums, anyone know how to fix this?
Download the compiled .smx plugins or compile it manually.
The plugins require the scrontab.inc file to compile, that's why the web compiler won't work.

At line 62 in sc_module:

KillTimer calls CloseHandle, the handle will be invalidated thanks to KillTimer, remove CloseHandle.

The plug-in needs to be compiled on your own system, as it relies on the .inc file. Download sipster19's sc.sp and sc_module.sp and place them in the sourcemod/scripting folder. Then download the scrontab.inc file from the original plug-in post and place it in the sourcemod/scripting/include folder. To compile the plug-in, you can simply drag sc.sp onto the executable file named spcomp.
That should create the output sc.smx. If it doesn't, you'll have to compile the plug-in in a terminal or command prompt. Open one up (Start -> Run -> type "cmd"), navigate to the sourcemod/scripting folder (cd <location of sourcemod/scripting>), type "./spcomp sc.sp" without the quotes, and press Enter. It'll print some messages explaining why it's not compiling.
I tried it under 1.3.9, and 1.4.0 under windows. I used the compile.exe, as the spcomp I'm guessing is for linux compile. It said "internal error"... press any key to exit. I did as you did, DLed sipster's .sp files, put the .inc file in the scripting/include folder, and stillno good :-/
Does it compile on yours?
**Edit: I'll jump on my win7 machine tomorrow and try it there. I'm using win2k on this old piece of crap maybe that's why it's no good lol, cuz I'm still getting internal error, and YES I know how to use dos :-(

Here are the exact steps how to compile them:
1. Download sourcemod
2. Extract the addons folder.
3. Navigate to the scripting folder.
4. Delete every sp file and the compile.sh
5. Place my versions of sc.sp and sp_module.sp in the scripting folder.
6. Download the scrotab.inc in the first post.
7. Place it in the scripting/include folder.
8. Run compile.exe
9. Navigate to scripting/compiled. The files are now compiled.
Yeah it worked now, sorry for the hassle guys. Didn't realize it wouldn't work on win2000. Worked just fine on this win7 machine.
Also interesting note, is it supposed to be different sizes after I compiled them in different sourcemod versions? The 1.3.9 smxs are bigger than the 1.4.0.
sipster19
11-05-2011, 23:02
I read that sourcemod 1.40 compiles plugins 5x faster. I never read anything that they would be different sizes.
I have a config question guys I hope you can help:

// Reboot the server on Wednesday once a week at 8am CST
sc_addjob 3 ? 8 8 0 1 "quit"
Will this work as I wrote for the notes? Am I able to use decimals like 59.5 to represent 30 seconds before the hour?
Also, does it matter if I use "quit" instead of "_restart"?
Thanks guys, I've gotten it configured and working beautifully with your help :)
Anyone use this for something other than switching map rotations and displaying text? I'm sure there's something I'm not thinking of that could make this much more useful.

Hey, is it possible to run Cron jobs within few second intervals. For example, if I want to run one Cron job every 30 min, then want to run another Cron job every 30 min, 10 sec. So that after the first job runs, another follows 10 sec later.

There's one timer what repeat every 60 seconds.
You could add that another job for next minute ?

Or rewrite the code well? It seems the author dont do nothing with this plugin.
More errors see in the plugin, when you try to compile. Askpluginload -> askpluginload2
HOW DO I MAKE IT
FOR EVERY SECOND
You should check your caps lock.
The smallest amount is minutes. So without editing there is no way to do something every second.

Does anyone know how to fix this?
Most likely, the problem lies on lines 61 and 62 of sc_module.sp. Line 61 is KillTimer(g_hJobsTimer), and the next one is CloseHandle(g_hJobsTimer). KillTimer performs the job of CloseHandle, but with extra options, so calling CloseHandle after KillTimer is redundant, and would make the handle invalid in the CloseHandle call.
I've taken out the line and compiled it. Give it a shot.
Not been around these woods for a long time, but going to try and fix all my current plugins slowly. and iron out any bugs that currently exist.
Put together a few fixes and added a new cVar to disable server log output.
v1.0.1.1
- Fixed the server error message when unloading the plugin, with invalid handles from KillTimer
- Enabled a console var to enable/disable job server logging output - This can be edited inside sc_module.cfg
- Small source change for the latest version of sourcemod
Next tasks will be to update the radio plugin and possibly the afk manager
Have fun dubbeh
Quick edit..
Forgot to mention.
If anyone has any bugs in any of my plugins, can you please send me a pm with the sourcemod error output or how to reproduce the problem on a live server.
Thanks

Welcome back dubbeh, almost 4 years since your last post! Ill test out the contrab mod soon :)
Thanks nelioneil, going to update all my plugins more frequently now ;). Next job is the Match Server Manager to work with the latest CS:S.
Just released a small update today, that fixes the missing timer for the sc_module config and changed to a global versioning.
yep - gonna install this on my servers now, thank you

Great plugin, I just need a quick explanation of why there is a Start Day/End Day and Start Hour/End hour?
In the examples Ive seen, the start hour and end hour are usually the same. Could I not just leave out the Start hour Option and just put ? ? ? 5 30 1 for example?

If not, How do I make it so I can start a different map cycle.... I see the "mapcycle normal.txt" example in the cfg, where do i put these .txt files?
How do I make this to run a specific command at midnight ?
Will this work? :
sc_addjob ? ? 0 0 0 1 "sm_mycommand"
Will this run the command at exactly 00:00 or will it repeat the command until 00:01 ?
I want to run it just once, exactly at midnight
Anyone with a CSGO server running this??
Anyone with a CSGO server running this??Yes, it work perfekt on csgo.
I can't set two mapcycles in CS:GO (daily with vote at map end, and nightly without it). Can anyone help me, please?

I use this and I believe it is only limited by your available memory. It shouldn't be an issue unless you plan on scheduling thousands of jobs. You'd probably have performance issues with the operation of the scheduler itself interfering with gameplay before you ran out of RAM to hold the jobs.
I ask because, I notice that the output of sc_printjobs doesn't seem to show all my currently configured jobs. However, I do notice the jobs themselves are kicking-off as expected.

You are starting at hour 23 and ending at hour 16. The job endings don't really mean anything for what you are trying to do, but your end time has to be the same or after your start time for days, hours, and minutes.
It seems like you want your day cycle to run from 16 to 23, and the night cycle the rest of the time. Since your are just setting a cvar, each job only needs to runs momentarily. You'd have to break it down into 3 jobs any way you do it because of the hours you want to use go from one day into another. The least processor intense way to do it would be to just check once at the specified times you want the change to take place.
sc_addjob ? ? 0 0 0 0 "mapcyclefile mapcycle_night.txt"
sc_addjob ? ? 16 16 0 0 "mapcyclefile mapcycle_day.txt"
sc_addjob ? ? 23 23 0 0 "mapcyclefile mapcycle_night.txt"
This is the least processor intense way to do it. The only problem with it is that if you restart your server, you'll have to set it to day/night manually until the next timeframe.
You could do to check once an hour like this:
sc_addjob ? ? 0 15 0 0 "mapcyclefile mapcycle_night.txt"
sc_addjob ? ? 16 22 0 0 "mapcyclefile mapcycle_day.txt"
sc_addjob ? ? 23 23 0 0 "mapcyclefile mapcycle_night.txt"
Or the most processor intensive way, check every minute:
sc_addjob ? ? 0 15 0 59 "mapcyclefile mapcycle_night.txt"
sc_addjob ? ? 16 22 0 59 "mapcyclefile mapcycle_day.txt"
sc_addjob ? ? 23 23 0 59 "mapcyclefile mapcycle_night.txt"

Same issue as the last post I answered. Your hours have to be consecutive. You cannot put 23 before 7. You'll have to break that down into one more job.
Edit: If the cycle is a daily, 24 hour cycle, start out with something like:
sc_addjob ? ? 0 7 0 0 "sm_mapvote_endvote 0"
sc_addjob ? ? 8 22 0 0 "sm_mapvote_endvote 1"
sc_addjob ? ? 22 23 0 0 "sm_mapvote_endvote 0"
This would run the job once an hour.

sc_addjob ? ? 8 8 0 1 "mapcyclefile mapcycle_other.txt"
Some of documentation would lead you to believe that the plugin would kill jobs at the "end" time. I don't think that is the case. Also, the plugin won't retry or repeat any jobs just because the end time differs from the start time - as far as I have figured out anyway. As far as I can tell, you get one job start attempt for each sc_addjob line. All that said, you cannot have a job with a start time that is after the end time, or it will never run. For example, this job would never run:
sc_addjob ? ? 9 8 0 0 "exec myconfig.cfg"
The plugin will hold you to keeping your end day/hour/minute >= start day/hour/minute. Other than that, the start/end don't seem to serve any purpose, other than the "end" being a "stop trying" point. You will find some lag time, so depending on the job, your might want to do something like this:
sc_addjob ? ? 14 14 0 5 "mapcyclefile mapcycle_day.txt"
sc_addjob ? ? 23 23 0 5 "mapcyclefile mapcycle_night.txt"
sc_addjob ? ? 8 8 0 5 "mapcyclefile mapcycle_other.txt"
5 minutes is a bit extreme, but just for example. For jobs that just change a cvar, 1 minute should be plenty.

That English doesn't make any sense - you might want to try asking again another way.
There are no flags, and the plugin won't run at all unless your server is running. It cannot start your server, but it could stop or restart your server.

Depending on what the job is, something like this:

The syntax is inconsistent. You are starting the job every minute of every hour of every day, but ending it on minute 2 of every hour of every minute of every day. You can't do that. If you want the job to run every hour of every day on minute 2, do this:
sc_addjob ? ? ? ? 2 2 "exec bot.cfg"
As far as the bot.cfg file itself, I don't have CS:GO but those commands should be valid. Check your server logs to make sure that the command "exec bot.cfg" isn't executing. The .cfg may be running but not adding BOTs for some other reason.
sc_addjob ? ? ? ? 0 0 "exec bot.cfg"
sc_addjob ? ? ? ? 2 2 "exec bot.cfg"
sc_addjob ? ? ? ? 20 20 "exec bot.cfg"

All of the syntax looks correct.
Questions:
What folder is your bot.cfg located? Can you type "exec bot.cfg" on the server command line and it works?
Suggestions:
First, make sure both plugins are loaded and running using the "sm plugins list" command. Both the Server Crontab and Server Crontab Module need to be running, 2 separate plugins.
Second, check and make sure the .cfg isn't running. You need to check your logs in ...\cstrike\logs\ in the timeframes to make sure the command isn't being executed. It probably is, and something else is preventing the desired effect, like another cvar that immeditately removes the BOT you just added. This is what happened on my server when I tested it.
If you still can't figure it out, post the output of "sm plugins list". Then execute "exec bot.cfg" form the server command line, and note what time you did that. Post all cstrike and sm logs that cover the time period when you tried to execute the command manually.
i try :
bot.cfg >
csgo\cfg <--- Here
csgo\cfg\sourcemod <--- Here
I see this plugin in "sm plugin list"
In logs i dont see anything about your cron plugin
(csgo\logs, sourcemod\logs)
This plugin maybe not work in cs:go .....

That's probably not a bad idea. Once you figure out how to run a server and SM, come back and try again. You may want to get help from a better language translator as well.

I don't see any posts by the OP since #147. Having used this plugin for quite awhile, I can say that some of the documentation is a little misleading, particularly "start" and "end" times. Start times work fine, but what happens at "end" time is simply there won't be another start. There is no killing or terminating a process in any way. That said, your end minutes must be >= start minnutes, despite what is suggested in some of the examples in the .cfg file.
All that said, your syntax looks correct. The jobs should have ran at 16:00. The jobs would end when they end though, not end at 16:20. You should be able to run any job you can run from the server console. Are you sure the jobs didn't run? You should at least be seeing "unknown command" at the time 16:00 in your logs.

I was telling you to post your logs, both error and server logs. If you got the sm_say command to work, then use that syntax, keeping the start and end minute the same. Which plugin accepts the backup_server command? Is that plugin loaded and running correctly? Try SM PLUGINS LIST.

Can this be used to auto-restart the server on a timed interval (i.e. once a week)?
I'm trying to find something to do that, as my server tends to get a tad laggy (not gameplay wise, but animation wise) after running for a few days.
EDIT: So after checking out Dr. McKay's Automatic Steam Update plugin, I see how the plugin restarts the server;

No, for a job like that which only needs to run once, use this syntax:
sc_addjob 6 6 23 23 59 59 "_restart"
I don't believe you can use the ? token in only a beginning or end, it has to be both (despite the examples in the stock sc_jobs.cfg file). Also, your end cannot precede your beginning (no wrapping around).
sc_addjob 6 6 ? ? 59 59 "myjob" - Runs myjob every hour on Saturday at the 59 minute mark.
sc_addjob 6 6 ? ? 40 59 "myjob" - Runs myjob every minute starting at 40 and ending at 59, every hour on Saturday.
sc_addjob 6 6 11 11 50 40 "myjob" - Invalid, job MIGHT run once at 11:50, I wouldn't count on it.
Basically, use the ? in both the start and end if you want it to run every day, or every hour, or every minute.
sc_addjob ? ? 11 11 0 0 "myjob" - Runs myjob every day at 11AM
sc_addjob ? ? ? ? 0 0 "myjob" - Runs myjob every day, every hour at the top of the hour
sc_addjob 6 6 11 11 ? ? "myjob" - Runs myjob every minute starting at 11AM, every Saturday
sc_addjob 6 6 ? ? ? ? "myjob" - Runs myjob every minute all day every Saturday
sc_addjob ? ? ? ? ? ? "myjob" - Runs myjob every minute all day every day

Yes, that should do it. You might also want to add something like:
sc_addjob 6 6 23 23 58 58 "sm_csay This server will restart in 1 minute"
to give users a warning so they don't think your server crashed.

Question. How would one accommodate timezones? Like, if I wanted to set the time up for central timezone, but the dedi is hosted in say, Quebec?
Quebec is in the Eastern Time Zone. Since the sun rises in the East, Eastern sees times one hour earlier than Central, or put another way, Central = Eastern - 1 Hour. As far as Daylight Savings goes, you should figure out exactly where in Quebec the server is, and look here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daylight_saving_time_in_Canada#Quebec
Other than the DST thing, if you wanted something to happen at 6AM Central, you'd program for 7AM for a server in the Eastern Time Zone.

I don't really understand your question regarding "the other day", but that syntax you have will NOT work. Take a look inside your sc_jobs.cfg file that comes with the plugin. There is documentation in there. When it talks about "end weekday/hour/minute", there is no termination, it's just defining when the job would run. You can have a job that runs only Sunday through Tuesday, every hour, by using 0 2 ? ? 0 0.
What I can tell you from experience is that if you specify an "start" > "end" (as in your example above), it won't work. You "end" must be greater than or equal to "start", i.e "start" <= "end".
If you wanted to change the mapcycle once a week, say on Sunday at midnight, it would look something like this:
sc_addjob 0 0 0 0 0 0 "mapcyclefile my_mapcycle.txt"
Of course, if that job runs and you never restart the server, the mapcycle would stay set to my_mapcycle. If you wanted to change it back on Tuesday at 7:30AM, you'd have to add another job that would look like this:
sc_addjob 2 2 7 7 30 30 "mapcyclefile mapcycle.txt"
The "start" and "end" is more for repeating jobs, such as printing a message. For example:
sc_addjob ? ? 17 21 0 0 "sm_say Welcome to happy hour!"
Would print the message to chat every day at 5PM, 6PM, 7PM, 8PM and 9PM.
If you wanted to print the same message every minute between those same hours, but only on Friday and Saturday, you could do this:
sc_addjob 5 6 17 21 0 59 "sm_say Welcome to happy hour!"
Now here's the catch that I was talking about that isn't really documented. If you wanted it on Sunday as well, you would have to use a separate job, since your "start" cannot be greater than "end" - no rollovers. If you enter something like:
sc_addjob 5 0 17 21 0 59 "sm_say Welcome to happy hour!"
trying to get it to run Friday through Sunday, it won't work, nor can you do that with hours or minutes:
sc_addjob 5 6 22 2 0 0 "sm_say Welcome to happy hour!" <<< Won't work
sc_addjob 5 6 20 0 0 0 "sm_say Welcome to happy hour!" <<< Won't work
sc_addjob 5 6 20 22 0 0 "sm_say Welcome to happy hour!" <<< Will work
sc_addjob 5 6 20 22 0 30 "sm_say Welcome to happy hour!" <<< Will work
sc_addjob 5 6 20 22 45 15 "sm_say Welcome to happy hour!" <<< Won't work
Whenever you have a job you want to repeat that starts in one week and ends in the next, or one day and ends in the next, or one hour and ends in the next, you have to use 2 separate jobs.

On my server I'm trying to have randomiser on just for Friday, every Friday, then turn off at the end of Friday. It keeps turning on and off and it's getting annoying how it just turns on randomly.
Here's my .cfg:
//RANDOMISER ON
sc_addjob 5 6 0 23 0 0 "tf2items_rnd_enabled 1"
//RANDOMISER OFF
sc_addjob 6 5 0 23 1 59 "tf2items_rnd_enabled 0"
Can someone reply with a code that works?
You can't have and end day/hour/minute that is greater than your start. Try this code:
//RANDOMISER ON
sc_addjob 5 5 0 0 0 0 "tf2items_rnd_enabled 1"
//RANDOMISER OFF
sc_addjob 6 6 0 0 0 0 "tf2items_rnd_enabled 0"

Yes, that will work, but of course something else can always change the cvar. If cvar_enabled is the exact cvar and not just an example, you might want to change the name to something more specific. You also want to make sure that whatever plugin is using the cvar isn't loading it from a .cfg file when the map changes.

That should work, providing your server recognizes the "quit" command. You also need to have something else in place to automatically restarts your server when it goes down, otherwise your server will just go down and not come back up. If your server supports it, you could use the "restart" command, but that doesn't always work. Best to use a batch file which automatically restarts your server when it goes down for whatever reason.

Your syntax for this plugin is valid, but I'm not sure about the sm_restrict_* cvars. If those commands work directly in your server console, then they'll work at the specified times. That would take another plugin to restrict weapons, and that plugin would have to be running at the specified times.
If you are using this plugin (https://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=105219), then you'll be allowing unlimited AWPs in the specified hour, and a limit of 1 per team the rest of the time.
The only way I could see this failing is in the unlikely event that a server restart occurs at just the right time, this plugin loads, and your job runs before the weapons restrict plugin loads - in which case you'd get "invalid command" or something like that back from your server.

Cron is the job scheduler in Linux/UNIX-like systems.
A crontab ("Cron table") file is holding list of tasks it executes at the given interval / time of day.

It looks like what you are trying to do is change the UMC mapcycle file for 1 hour every day, then change it back. Try this:
sc_addjob ? ? 15 15 0 0 "sm_umc_endvote_cyclefile umc_mapcycle3.txt"
sc_addjob ? ? 16 16 0 0 "sm_umc_endvote_cyclefile umc_mapcycle.txt"
This will change the cvar at 3PM, and change it back at 4PM. However, UMC may load that value from one of it's config files at each map change.

Server Crontab can only execute commands that you could normally execute in the server's command window. Only command lines that you can type into the command window will work. Try doing what you are doing without using RCON. You also realize that what you are trying to do there is change your server name every minute, even though you are changing it back to the same name?
You also have some syntax issues there. I believe hostname requires it's parameter to be enclosed in quotes, and I'm not sure if you can create a cvar that way without providing an initial value. If it's an existing cvar, you aren't changing it in any way with what you are doing.
Why don't you try to explain what it is you want to do, and I will show you how to do it with crontab.

Hello, it worked well since the beggining but, i had to restart the server to refresh the crontab config, now it works correctly, thanks for your help
Thanks for the various help with the plugin while i was on an extended break xD.
Just released v1.0.1.3 with a few small changes and added a check finally for duplicate jobs.
v1.0.1.3
- Added a check for duplicate cron jobs getting added and a new native SC_DoesCronJobExist
- Plugin now checks for a duplicate job being added with the new native
- Rebuilt on the latest sourcepawn compiler
Might eventually get around to creating a seperate more advanced module to do stuff on round start, round end etc. possibly call it sc_module_events and have it as an optional addon with cvars to limit what you want to hook.

Yes, the "end" times can be misleading. There is no termination sent out, crontab just stops trying at the end. For what you are doing, either syntax should work. I know that crontab won't do anything if your start number is lower than your end number, for example sc_addjob ? ? 7 7 1 0 "sm_map de_dust2", will never execute. Have you tried using a different command, such as changelevel instead of sm_map? Try:
sc_addjob ? ? 7 7 0 0 "changelevel de_dust2"
Of course, this will change the map at the specified time no matter what is happening in the server (i.e. people playing another map).

According to Valve's developer's community list of cvars (https://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=207240), mapcyclefile is supported, however, I'm find much to the contrary on general internet searches. Seems there's more involved with map cycles in CS:GO than there was in previous versions of CS. Take a look at this, it may shed some light:

Correction: That was a list of CS:S cvars. This list (http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=275969700) of CS:GO commands from the Steam community does not include mapcyclefile.
I believe the mapcyclefile option can only be used when the server is first started, i.e. ...
In the SRCDS command-line, or
In the autoexec.cfg file.
Beyond that, yeah as I recall map-cycles on CS:GO have their own weirdness. But, for other SRCDS games, the above caveat should apply.

autoexec.cfg is nice because it will only execute once per server startup (unless called from elsewhere), but anything that happens in there should be able to happen from the server command line or any other .cfg file. I'm not sure about the current state of CS:GO, but the post I linked to previously does say that mapcyclefile had been removed as a cvar, but remains as a command line switch for SRCDS, and one possible workaround is shown there.
Thanks Bittersweet and Weasel for giving lots of help in this post, you're much better than me with updated knowledge on how things changed with CS:GO.
Shame that they restricted so many options in CS:GO, had a couple of issues within another plugin because of the way stuff changed (restrictions basically). Would say they're really pushing for a clean competitive game, which is a shame for anyone coming from Source or 1.6. Then again the original 1.6 was based around an intercept dll created by botman? from the old half life engine a long time ago, from what i can remember
Sorry for the double post - Looking for some feedback on a change I'm thinking about doing.
How would server admins be if i changed the format to be more like the official UNIX cronjob scheduler? Looked over the Wikipedia article and thought it would be much better overall and create less confusion.

That's how the new format would be like - And potentially add macros for stuff like @startup, @mapchange - Only downside to this, is possibly more overhead on the server.

Sorry for the double post - Looking for some feedback on a change I'm thinking about doing.
How would server admins be if i changed the format to be more like the official UNIX cronjob scheduler? Looked over the Wikipedia article and thought it would be much better overall and create less confusion.

Most of the confusion has been over the "stop" times. I think people take this to mean there is some sort of termination sent out to kill the process, rather than what is actually happening - the command is no longer sent. Removing the "stop" time might make it more clear that most common uses require at least 2 lines - one to change something at a certain time, and another to change it back. Most people seem to use this to change their mapcycles during peak periods, and they often think that the mapcycle will revert back somehow at the "stop" time, when in fact that is the sort of job where then stop time is not relevant, and the user would need a whole other config line to change the mapcycle back. There's also some other quirks with the current syntax. If "Start Time > Stop Time", whether "Time" is hour, minute, etc., the job will never run, and that may be >= instead of just >, I don't remember off hand and can't test it right now, but I know I've posted about it in this thread before.
On the other hand, you should probably add comments in the documentation somewhere clarifying the proposed new syntax because I can hear the questions now..."What day of week do I put if it's a monthly job?", or vice versa. There's a very large chunk of people that would post the question before they would run a simple test to find out.
Thanks for the feedback Bittersweet
I see exactly what you mean about syntax and how users will find it quite daunting. When I initially programmed this - I have no idea why i made it quite complex in the first place and avoided the simple crontab format (Didn't implement overlapping value checking - only if the input was in a valid range. Which is another potential problem without understanding the format). Think if I switched to the much more simple input with minute, hour and day, many users would find it easier.
100% agree about the documentation problems - Was a main thing for me to clean up next, after finishing the radio documentation yesterday.
Will get around to switching the input format without all the extra start and end times, and change the wildcard to "*". Only allow minute, hour and day for now then gradually extend if it's requested. Make sure all users know, that each job is a single task, unless you use a full set of wildcards in every input

When you say "day", as long as you mean day of week, I think that's perfect for gameservers. There could be some stuff you'd want to run once a month on a particular day, like the 1st or 15th, but that's most database stuff and can usually be done another way. I think the majority of the current users of this plugin use it to change mapcycles during peak hours. I have used it in the past to run a job every couple of hours that changed some startup sound another plugin played to a new player whenever they joined the server.
The only downside I could see to simplifying things the way you so, is that a user may need more individual jobs, but once a user gets the syntax down, that's all copy and paste - like if you want something to run every hour during a certain 4 hour daily peak time, you'd need 4 lines rather than being able to do it in one.
Yep, day would mean day of the week, to stop any type of confusion on the format - Feel this is the easiest method to impliment and most efficient.
More i thought about it, more promising it was to add a months option, because of the jobs you could run at certain times of the year. Say for example, It's christmas season - You could run all the custom maps with a christmassy feel to them. Or Haloween - Run a mod that gives all the standard maps a dark gloomy feel.
Last potential option - Jobs based on events, like sc_addjob_event @startup, @shutdown, @mapstart, @mapend, @roundstart, @roundend then a delay option - Say for example "sc_addjob_event @startup delaytimer "job"".
Not too sure about the extra overhead from this though, and If It's really worth It.
Amazing plugin overall, but I will agree the first thing I thought when opening the plugin was "I wish these reflected the UNIX crons". It was confusing the first time setting it up, being so used to how UNIX has crons already.
Regardless,
Many thanks!

That is an excellent point about the different holiday seasons. I had both Halloween and Thanksgiving/Christmas holiday themes on my server, but I had to do most of the changes manually. Having Crontab do it for you would be great.
Release should be ready for sunday at the latest. Using the official UNIX job formats and added a couple of little helper variable.
sc_module_hour_add - Adjust the hour value positively by this amount - Minimum 0 and Maximum 12
sc_module_hour_sub - Adjust the hour value negatively by this amount - Minimum 0 and Maximum 12
Allows admins to make sure jobs always run in the timezone they want - Say for example your server timezone is 2 hours behind localtime (Your current location) and you want jobs to run at GMT or something. set "sc_module_hour_add 2.0" and "sc_module_hour_sub 0.0" to make the jobs run at your local timezone.
This will apply to the returned hour value directly in the main crontab timer - When checking if a task needs to be executed. Saves adding entries and working out the time difference inside the main jobs config.
Quick Edit:
Changed from hour_add and hour_sub to just use hour_adjust now - Two variables was unecessary with console variables being able to use negative values.
Removed.. Not using github for now at least.
v2.0.0.0 is now released, documentation is linked to my blog (https://dubbeh.net/sourcemod-plugins/server-crontab/) and still have to add documentation for the natives.
Changelog:
- Recoded the plugin to use new decals
- Crontabs are now based on the official UNIX format - Read up more about them here (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cron)
- Added checks for a valid number of parameters - To avoid any potential problems
Have fun

Am i doing it right?
/ Reboot the server everyday at 5am - Watch out with this resetting any changes you set inside crontab
sc_addjob 0 5 * * * "_restart"
//Server restart MSG
sc_addjob 55 4 * * * "say Server restarting in 5 mins"
//Server restart MSG
sc_addjob 56 4 * * * "say Server restarting in 4 mins"
//Server restart MSG
sc_addjob 57 4 * * * "say Server restarting in 3 mins"
//Server restart MSG
sc_addjob 58 4 * * * "say Server restarting in 2 mins"
//Server restart MSG
sc_addjob 59 4 * * * "say Server restarting in 1 mins"
Hey, that looks fine. Just double check the actual _restart command, usually "quit" works for most servers running under a restart script.

Interesting changes, but good. I've never used the Unix cron, so I'm left wondering, what happens when your config has a value of 0, or otherwise outside the acceptable parameters, for day and month? Hopefully just an error message which is logged at the time the config is loaded.

Great plugin!
The "say hello!" command works well but "rcon changelevel ctf_2fort" does not work. any idea?

Remove "rcon", or try "sm_rcon" instead.

The plugin runs from inside the server, so there shouldn't be any need to use any rcon in any of your commands.

Anything out of bounds when you add a job will return ThrowNativeError, small code snippet to give an example:
iJobTime[JOB_MINUTE] = GetNativeCell(1);
if (!SC_IsMinuteValid(iJobTime[JOB_MINUTE]))
return ThrowNativeError(SP_ERROR_NATIVE, "Minute value is out of range - Maximum value is 59");
iJobTime[JOB_HOUR] = GetNativeCell(2);
if (!SC_IsHourValid(iJobTime[JOB_HOUR]))
return ThrowNativeError(SP_ERROR_NATIVE, "Hour value is out of range - Maximum value is 23");
iJobTime[JOB_DAY_OF_THE_MONTH] = GetNativeCell(3);
if (!SC_IsDayOfTheMonthValid(iJobTime[JOB_DAY_OF_THE_MONTH]))
return ThrowNativeError(SP_ERROR_NATIVE, "Day of the month value is out of range - Minumum 1 - Maximum 31");
iJobTime[JOB_MONTH] = GetNativeCell(4);
if (!SC_IsMonthValid(iJobTime[JOB_MONTH]))
return ThrowNativeError(SP_ERROR_NATIVE, "Month value is out of range - Minumum 1 - Maximum 12");
iJobTime[JOB_DAY_OF_THE_WEEK] = GetNativeCell(5);
if (!SC_IsDayOfTheWeekValid(iJobTime[JOB_DAY_OF_THE_WEEK]))
return ThrowNativeError(SP_ERROR_NATIVE, "Day of the week value is out of range - Min 0 (Sunday) - Max 6 (Sat)");
Basically everything will give user feedback (Just noticed a spelling mistake too and my OCD wants to release an update "Minumum" but will wait and see how the progression goes with the events module).
@igotfits Everything is ran directly on the server as Bittersweet said, no need to have anything related to using remote console and glad you like the plugin
Been really busy since i got back home last weekend with real life, sorry for the late replies.

Im trying to make this command "!sm_csay Hello" run every 5 minutes im having trouble figuring it out
I want to go every 5 minutes forever.. any help formatting it? I am utterly confused haha thanks :3

Could this work?

Hey, Sorry I missed this.
The way the plugin is coded right now, it doesn't support that style command syntax - Will have to add an individual job once every 5 minutes for it to function like that.
Hopefully I can get that done for the next update, been quite busy getting Radio finished recently and was away from home for 3 months.
What do you do wrong, he adds by rcon command
sc_addjob 10 21-23 * * * "exec server.cfg"
