Best way to have scheduled restarts

[goodspellar 4]

What's the best way to set your server to have scheduled restarts? I used to play on DE 48 and before the server restarted they'd have a global message saying Server restart in 5 min, 4 min, etc.

What I'm trying to do is have the server restart itself every 6 hours, and have a message for players letting them know it's going to restart.

You can use BEC scheduler to deliver a message before a restart. You can also have it execute a restart after a certain time too.

The only issue is you need a way to catch a crash. BEC won't catch a crash, but a simple .bat file could. So if you get BEC to execute a shut down command, then the server would automatically be restarted with your other measure in place. That's a simple way to do it. If it's the best way, well that's down to opinion tbh.
