How to Set Up Automatic Restarts on Your Enshrouded Server

Updated June 10, 2026 · By Host Havoc Technical Support Team

Automatic restarts keep your Enshrouded server healthy by periodically clearing memory and applying any pending updates. You can schedule them through the Game Panel's Scheduled Tasks feature.

For time zone reference when setting the restart time, see your panel's time zone settings. Other server configuration options are covered in our guides on changing the server name and setting a password.

Create a scheduled restart

  1. Log in to the Game Control Panel and navigate to your Enshrouded server.
  2. Click the Scheduled Tasks icon in the left sidebar.
  3. Click New at the top of the section and choose Scheduled Start/Stop/Restart, then click New again in that section.
  4. Give the task a name that lets you identify it quickly.
  5. Check the Enabled box.
  6. Set the Type to Daily for a once-per-day restart.
  7. Set the start date and time for when the restart should occur each day.
  8. Click Save.

Repeat restarts multiple times per day

If you want the server to restart more frequently, for example every 6 hours, open the Advanced Options section when creating the task and enable the Repeat Task option. Set the interval to match your preferred schedule.

Additional advanced options let you set the action type and configure the task to wait until the server is empty before restarting.
