[RELEASE] Cron Manager

Xerxes

Introduction

A plug-in allows you to run commands time based on either the game via rcon or as shell commands on your system. All timings are controlled just like cronjobs. It comes with 2 built-in commands and has a placeholder for the PID of each server for your custom scripts.

Features:

Uses Cron’s syntax
Allows to easily send rcon commands
Allows to easily use build in commands
- @kill - kills the server process
- @processinfo - shows some basic information about the server process, C# limits us here a bit.
Allows to easily define custom commands
- !!taskkill /F /PID {PID} for example does the same as @kill

I could give an example of how to use it in a T6 server that at a certain time 12:00 pm the server is closed if it is empty. If there are players, do it when it’s empty.

It doesn’t support postponing commands.

@xerxes

{
      "cron": "0 0 * * * *",
      "command": "quit",
      "ignorePlayers": true,
      "game": "T6"
    },

According to this code, it will run at midnight every day, but since I make it run on a certain server, I must specify the ip:port or what I must do. ?

At the moment it is only taking whole games so everything is executed for all servers of a game. If you want me to I can change it to either game or game server endpoint.

@xerxes I would appreciate if it were possible to run it for a certain server, since I manage several t6 servers and with the plugin I would only like to restart the zombie servers. :grinning_face_with_big_eyes:

Sorry to revive,

Doesn’t taskkill on PID defeats the whole purpose of the plugin since PIDs gets randomly generated every restart?

I find this plugin especially useful for T5 where servers tends to stop working every now and then, to avoid force restarting all servers at once.

Would you mind giving more info on how to use @processinfo / an example for a specified server?

Xerxes

The plugin obviously does loop up the pid first, @processinfo is way too limited due to the .net framework not exposing a lot. There is no way to set-up something for a single server.
