Example: I want to restart the server every day at 03:00 am.

I placed to amxx.cfg following to shutdown the server:

Code:

amx_task 2:55 "amx_csay yellow Server is going down in 5 minutes" tr
amx_task 2:59 "amx_csay yellow Server is going down in 1 minute" tr
amx_task 3:00 "amx_rcon quit" tr

To start it again, there is no other way (I guess) than setting up a cron job. The crontab line to start the server at 3:01 would look like this:

Code:

1 3 * * * <commandline used to start the server>

If server shutdown fails and cron tries to start another server, the new server won't start because it's port will be still in use. So there is no risk of having too many DS only because server shutdown failed.

Hope it helps,

T.

I dont get it .. why using a conjob if you only want the server to restart?

you can use amx_rcon restart instead of quit command?

@ Dr Knuckles

is it a linux or windows server. all you really have to do is set a scheduled task (win) or a cronjob (linux) to delete the old mapcycle from your game dir and copy a new mapcycle from seperate dir at specific time intervals.

thats the quickest solution i can think of right now and it doesnt involve this plugin.

but im drunk and i can't think really so good luck!

----------------------------

if you want it with this plugin.. try:

amx_task xxx "mapcyclefile mapcycle1.txt" r

where xx

x is the time you want.

Yes, I understand the commands, I just don't know where to put the new mapcycles.

there are only 2 places to test (i've never done it so i dont know).

either in your mod dir
or in
adddons\amxmodx\config

Anyone know for sure because I have tried both and it doesn't work for some reason.

Very Very Very nice plugin

RAW_OmarBKhatab · 05-10-2005 , 22:50

can any one verify this plugin works on Linux servers?
Last time I checked it gave "run time errors" on Linux RH9 servers.
But, how is it looking now?

I am trying to do this...

Code:

amx_xall "cl_particlefx 2"

Is this the proper syntax?

Code:

amx_task 3 "amx_xall cl_particlefx 2" mr

Or should I (can I) do this...

Code:

amx_task 3 "amx_xall "cl_particlefx 2"" mr

Dr_Knuckles · 05-16-2005 , 09:46

amx_task 3 "amx_xall cl_particlefx 2" mr

is the way to do it. I dunno if it'll work but that's how you do it.
