How to Set Up Automatic Restarts for Your Unturned Server
Scheduled restarts keep your server running smoothly by clearing memory and applying updates on a set timetable. You configure them from the Scheduled Tasks section of the game control panel.
Create a scheduled restart
- Log in to the Game Control Panel and navigate to your server.
- Click the Scheduled Tasks icon on the left-hand side.
- Click New at the top of the section, choose Scheduled Start/Stop/Restart, then click New directly below that section.
- Give the task a descriptive name so you can identify it quickly. Make sure the Enabled box is checked.
- For the type, choose Daily to restart at the same time each day.
- Set the start date and time. This is the time the task runs every day.
- Click Save.
Repeat every few hours
To restart multiple times per day (for example, every 6 hours), open the Advance Options section and enable Repeat Task. Set the repeat interval as needed.
Troubleshooting
- Task not firing at the expected time: the panel uses its own time zone. Check the panel's time zone setting and adjust your scheduled time accordingly.
- Server still running players when it restarts: use the Wait until server is empty option in Advance Options to delay the restart until the server is empty.
