Are you tired of manually restarting your server every time it gets slow? Oddblox offers a feature called “Schedules”, which allows for all server owners to create schedules for numerous tasks. Do you want a daily backup? That can be done easily! What about a daily restart? Easy! Lets take a look below.
Accessing the Schedule Menu
Log into the Oddblox Control Panel.
Select the server you want to add the schedule to.
Click on the Configuration tab on the left menu
Click the Schedules option
You can now manage your existing schedules, or create a new one.
Creating a Schedule
- Click the create button located at the top of the menu
- Name your schedule in the popup
- Use CRON to set up how often you want the schedule to run (Check below!)
- When you get the timing right, click submit.
- Click the Create Task button, located in the top right of the menu
- Select your action and payload
- Click submit
- Your server will now automatically execute the action!
Cron Confusion
Cron is really confusing sometimes, so I will provide some example of how to use cron below!
| Name | Minute | Hour | Day of Month | Day of Week |

| Every 30 minutes | */30 | * | * | * |
| Every hour | */60 | * | * | * |
| Every day | * | *24 | * | * |
