Automatically announcing scheduled server restarts (vilayer)

[Imentiu 10]

Hello

My server is hosted with Vilayer and has 3 scheduled restarts each day. I'd like to find a way to automatically have the server warn players that the server will be restarted shortly (Ideally with 5 min then 1 min warning). I already have the times listed in MOTD, however I'm looking for something a little bit more visible as the restart time approaches. Vilayer ACP doesn't have the option to set scheduled messages currently so I'm looking for another way to do it from within the server.

Has anyone had success with automated messages on Vilayer? Alternativley, is there some file I can create within the server to automate this for me?

I would like to knwo the same. I have 4 restarts per day at the moment and more visibility for the players would be awesome.

Might be worth a look, not sure what it's capable of exactly

B.E.C. is capable alright, but I don't see how it's possible to get that working with a server at Vilayer, unless it's supported through the ACP.

I second this to. ATM i only have one restart on schedule in the morning when barley anyone play. After that i manually reset cause of not being able to post automated messages (using host altitude)

You need to rent a dedicated server as BEC is an external program which needs to run alongside the server executable.

AFAIK it's not possible @ Vilayer.

Just put it in your MOTD that the server resets at x, x and x times. I know it's not a perfect solution but at least that way the players on your server can't complain that they haven't been notified of a reset.

Vilayer should start offering this as an option on their managed servers. It's customers would be extremely grateful.
