Creating Scheduled Tasks with Realms

In this guide we are going to be showing you how to create scheduled tasks within the Realms Game Panel. Whether it's an automated restart, or commands being sent. We will show you how to do this.

What's the benefits of creating an automated schedule?

The benefits of creating a scheduled task such as a restart is that while you are away from your computer, whether that's because your asleep or your away, these can be done all automatically meaning no need to log into the Game Panel while you are busy.

Creating a Scheduled Task

The Game Panel uses a cron job to create these tasks so you will need to know how to apply the cronjob syntax to create a successful restart / task you want to complete.
