How to Set Up Automatic Restarts for Your Myth of Empires Server

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

Scheduling automatic restarts keeps your Myth of Empires server running smoothly by clearing memory and applying any pending updates on a regular cycle. You can also configure tasks to connect via FTP if you need to back up files before a restart.

Create a scheduled restart task

  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 quickly, and make sure the Enabled checkbox is checked.
  5. Set the type to Daily to restart at the same time each day.
  6. Set the start date and time. This is the time the task runs every day. To align it with your local time zone, check the time zone guide.
  7. Click Save.

Repeat interval: To restart every 6 hours within a 24-hour period, expand Advanced Options and enable Repeat Task, then set the repeat interval to 6 hours.

Troubleshooting

If the task does not fire at the expected time, verify that the Enabled checkbox is checked and that the start time matches your intended time zone. Advanced options such as action type and waiting until the server is empty are available under Advanced Options.
