How to Set Up Automatic Restarts for Your American Truck Simulator Server

Updated 10 June 2026 · By Host Havoc Technical Support Team

Scheduled Tasks let you automatically restart your American Truck Simulator server on a daily schedule or at repeating intervals. This guide also applies to Euro Truck Simulator 2 servers.

Create a scheduled restart

  1. Log in to the Game Control Panel and navigate to your server.
  2. Click the Scheduled Tasks icon on the left-hand side.
  3. Click New at the top of the section, choose Scheduled Start/Stop/Restart, then click New directly below that section.
  4. Give the task a descriptive name so you can identify it quickly, and make sure the Enabled box is checked.
  5. For the type, choose Daily if you want the restart to occur at the same time each day.
  6. Set the start date and time. This is the time the restart will occur every day. To ensure the time matches your time zone, refer to the time zone guide in the panel.
  7. Click Save.

Repeating restarts: To restart every 6 hours, check the Repeat Task option in the Advanced Options section and configure the repeat interval accordingly.
