How to set up server messages correctly ?

[Guest]

Hello,

How do I set server messages on my server?

My message looks like this

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<messages>

    <!-- This is example message for automatic server termination -->
    <message>

        <!-- no delay -->
        <delay>0</delay>

        <!-- if the value is larger than 0, then flag Repeat is enabled -->
        <repeat>0</repeat>

        <!-- if the value is larger than 0, then flag Countdown is enabled,
             countdown reaches zero in 10 hours --> 
        <deadline>30</deadline>

        <!-- disable On connect flag -->
        <onconnect>0</onconnect>

        <!-- enable Shutdown flag -->
        <shutdown>0</shutdown>

        <!-- message itself with placeholders -->
        <text>Test report.</text>

    </message>
</messages>

I want the message to be sent every 30 minutes. But the problem is that the message is being sent at random, doing something wrong?

Thank you

For a message to repeat every 30 minutes,
you would do it like this...

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<messages>

    <!-- My message - repeats every 30 minutes  -->
    <message>

        <!-- Repeat is enabled -->
        <repeat>1</repeat>

        <!-- Delay 30 minutes  -->
        <delay>30</delay>

        <!-- My Message Body -->
        <text>Hello World...</text>

    </message>
</messages>

My server restarts every 4 hours (12,16,20,00,04,08) via task scheduler.

I want messages.xml to send notifications in 30,15,5 and 1 min before server goes down to all players online, how can I do that? How do I let the server know when exactly to start this messaging?
