I have added alot of scripts on this new host(vilayer) but I cant get simple restart warnings to show up...
I have server start time set for 12:00 pm
my time zone is set for eastern standard time USA
I have enabled the scheduler

bec_config.cfg

[Misc]


# Set the color,height and with on bec's console window
ConsoleColor = 0f
ConsoleHeight = 30
ConsoleWidth = 100


#AsciiNickOnly = True
#DisallowPlayerNameChars = [](){}<>/\^|§!#%&@£¤¨
#MaxPlayerNameLength = 16
#Warnings = 4
#AsciiChatOnly = True
#IgnoreChatChars = æøå
ChatChannelFiles = true

Scheduler = Scheduler.xml


I have 3 hour restarts and start time noon so warnings should be 2:30,2:55 and 2:59I was told its in hours and not in time like 2:30 is 2.5 hours into game but this should work either way is true
this is what I have in my bec\Config\Scheduler.xml

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<Scheduler>
<!-- 30 minute restart warning. -->

<job id="0">
<time>02:30:00</time>
<delay>000000</delay>
<day>1,2,3,4,5,6,7</day>
<loop>1</loop>
<cmd>say -1 Server Restart in 30 minutes </cmd>
<cmdtype>0</cmdtype>
</job>

<!-- 5 minute restart warning. -->
<job id="1">

<delay>000000</delay>
<day>1,2,3,4,5,6,7</day>
<loop>1</loop>
<cmd>say -1 Server Restart in 5 minutes </cmd>

<!-- 1 minute retart warning. -->

<cmd>say -1 Server Restart in 1 minute </cmd>

</job>

please anyone who knows BEC scheduler
vilayer has not responded to my ticket in 6 dayz
 
andre leave with ur noob server advertisements

@calamity i use the server restart addon right under the thing... its alot easier and less confusing try that
 
Lol okay in your vilayer control panel click on addon manager and then under BEC theres a thing called Server Messages install it and then go to config and theres a file called servermessages\messages.cfg go there... basically just follow the 24 hour clock... see my server restarts every 4 hours so my file looks like this

Code: 
15:30:00~ Server Restart in 30 minutes
15:50:00~ Server Restart in 10 minutes
15:55:00~ Server Restart in 5 minutes
19:30:00~ Server Restart in 30 minutes
19:50:00~ Server Restart in 10 minutes
19:55:00~ Server Restart in 5 minutes
23:30:00~ Server Restart in 30 minutes
23:50:00~ Server Restart in 10 minutes
23:55:00~ Server Restart in 5 minutes
03:30:00~ Server Restart in 30 minutes
03:50:00~ Server Restart in 10 minutes
03:55:00~ Server Restart in 5 minutes
07:30:00~ Server Restart in 30 minutes
07:50:00~ Server Restart in 10 minutes
07:55:00~ Server Restart in 5 minutes
11:30:00~ Server Restart in 30 minutes
11:50:00~ Server Restart in 10 minutes
11:55:00~ Server Restart in 5 minutes

Yess or like that.... i like the server messages better they just seem alot more simple than BEC
 
HI guys im trying to set up the server restart with messages, i have setup the scheduled task and entered the message into the messages.cfg in server messages, I still dont get in game messages. Besides installing the server messages addon in control panel is there something else i need to configure Thanks.
 
You need to have the line in your bec config.cfg uncommented... if it has a # at the beginning of the line its commented out ..
scheduler = scheduler.xml

What I did though was just added a line in my debug monitor at the bottom that has a countdown to restart .. Its not entirely accurate as it seems to lose time with the actual server so when it gets to 15 minutes remaining I have it say "SOON".

Thanks for the reply i have both " misc " and " scheduler " uncommented and the server restarts ok as per the vilayer restart schedule but still no messages.
 
try this example scheduler.xml
I dont know if Vilayer is using the current version of BEC or not but a previous version had the example scheduler time incorrect. Try the current version example and see if it works.
BTW, did you check your BEC error log?

The example i posted from the BEC website and yours have different time formats which is what I had experienced before. So it depends on which version of the BEC is being used I guess. I haven't used BEC in a year or so but should setup and test the current release.

Trail and Error is your friend
 
OK this is finally solved!
It might be handy for anybody else who needs to schedule a restart on vilayer dedicated servers. According to there support this is how a 3 hourly restart should look,

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<Scheduler>

<job id="0">
<time>023000</time>
<delay>000000</delay>
<day>1,2,3,4,5,6,7</day>
<loop>-1</loop>
<cmd>say -1 Server restarts in 30 minutes </cmd>
<cmdtype>0</cmdtype>
</job>

<job id="1">
<time>025000</time>
<delay>000000</delay>
<day>1,2,3,4,5,6,7</day>
<loop>-1</loop>
<cmd>say -1 Server restarts in 10 minutes </cmd>
<cmdtype>0</cmdtype>
</job>

<job id="2">
<time>025500</time>
<delay>000000</delay>
<day>1,2,3,4,5,6,7</day>
<loop>-1</loop>
<cmd>say -1 Server restarts in 5 minutes </cmd>
<cmdtype>0</cmdtype>
</job>

So they are using the old BEC version. Same as alexlawson posted. Thats the scheduler.xml that I had used also in the past.
Keep in mind then that this probably wont work on a local server, dedicated server, vps because most likely those users would have downloaded the latest version which uses a different time structure.

The best way to restart your server also .. to make sure its in sync with the real restart time ... is your Job ID 3 will be a #shutdown command. That will stop the server and then the vilayer scripts will automatically restart it (at least on all the other hosts I have used it did). The reason is that as time goes by, the 'server time' is not totally in sync with the servers real time that your control panel restart is working on. So you might get your 15 minute warning only to notice it restarting 2 minutes later or 20 minutes later instead of the actual 15.
 
Vilayer use a different method, you have to schedule a restart separate, on there YouTube channel they made a video explaining how all this is done and a few other things within there CP.
