How to Set Up Automatic Restarts on Your Mordhau Server

Scheduling automatic restarts keeps your Mordhau server running smoothly by clearing memory and applying any pending updates on a regular basis. The Game Control Panel's Scheduled Tasks feature lets you configure restarts on a daily schedule or at repeating intervals.

Before you start: If your server is running in a non-local time zone, check the panel's time zone setting before scheduling so the restart fires at the time you expect.

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. Enter a name for the task so you can identify it later, and make sure the Enabled box is checked.
5. Set Type to Daily to restart at the same time each day.
6. Set the start date and time for when the restart should occur.
7. Click Save.

Repeat every few hours

If you want the restart to run multiple times per day (for example, every 6 hours), open the Advanced Options section after step 6 and enable Repeat Task, then configure the repeat interval before saving. The example below shows a task configured to repeat every 6 hours across a 24-hour period with the Repeat Task option checked.

Troubleshooting

• If the task does not fire at the expected time, confirm that the time zone shown in the panel matches your local time zone.
• Advanced options such as waiting until the server is empty before restarting are available under Advanced Options when creating or editing the task.
