I don't know if it's the most optimal way of writing that, but it would work.

So I tried this:

30 17 * * * console say Server will restart in 10 minutes!
31 17 * * * console say Server will restart in 9 minutes!

To send a message 5.30pm and then 5.31pm. Though both were sent 21 seconds after the clock hit the time. Is there a way to set seconds? Because then I could also warn 30 seconds before restart

FYI it is probably bad practice to restart the server with players on it... your best bet is to have the timer tick, and once it hits 0, wait until the server empties out before issuing the "quit" command (also will cause a graceful server exit).

I don't know about seconds, but I would assume something like this might be it...

30/30 17 * * *

My understanding is that would be

5:30:30

That didn't seem to work, said it couldn't parse the number

I had a quick Google, but most of the answers appear to say that you cannot run seconds. You would have to trigger whatever it is you want triggered on the minute mark and have whatever is triggered sleep for the additional time (30 seconds) before running the job.

Edit: In which case, would something like this work?

30 17 * * * * console say "SERVER RESTART IN 30 seconds"; wait 30; "quit"

Ok so I managed to create a scheduled shutdown.
I've made a batch file that opens both my servers:

@echo off
cd "C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop"
start RUN-JAILBREAK

cd "C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop"
start RUN-DM

exit

RUN-DM & RUN-JAILBREAK are shortcuts to the actual server.

And it's tasked in scheduler, though it won't open the server consoles. The servers go up and there's a process for each server but no console shows up. Guessing I need some sort of parameter to show it?

I can also add that if I run the batch manually, both server consoles shows up like normal

i think if you have sedirector lite you can setup schedules
