Manual Restarts Dont work

Hi Crash,

I hope you are well.

Been using this for some tie now and all worked well.
However since the latest big changes you made to the plugin,  scheduled restarts must be canceleed in order to add a manual restart.

Is there something I'm missing in the commands list?

I assume that through console and rcon by add a custom restart say for 15 minutes
(while I already have a schedueld daily restart) would work and not require the scheduled one to be cancelled first?

Thsi is inconvenient and causes a lot of uneccessary notificaitons for players, showing restarts cancelled,
then restart rescheduled then the custom restart mesages after.   

Should the manual restart simply not just function and not have to cancel the daily?

I have the same resutls from using the ingame ui and using console commands.

I'm sure I'm missed something but I can't figure it out so I'd appreciate any help, many thanks in advance.
Otherwise the plugin is functioning fine.

(also I've attached my config and removed my webhooks or any custom urls I had)

**EDIT**  after initiating a manual restart an cancelling theDaily, nothing happens, it sits on permanently displaying the restarting in 1 second and doesn't function. 

Otherwise my schedueld restarts (daily restarts) work as intended.

 

AutoRestart.json

All is working fine now it seems.

There's one small issue, maybe the command is incorrect on the front page?

When typing the console command "restart" as listed in the description page,  or trying "restart status" if I type either into server console or  rcon it tries to immediately restart the server.
So I had to very quickly type "restart cancel"

The chat commands from in game, when used as an admin player all work perfectly from testing.
Only this console command in my previous message seems to be incorrect, perhaps I'm typing it wrong?

Hey! Found the issue - turns out there were actually two problems: The console command "restart" was clashing with Rust's built-in restart command (which just immediately restarts the server, hence why it was trying to restart right away) There was also a small bug with how the remaining time was being displayed in the console

Fixed both! The console command is now autorestart instead of restart to avoid the conflict. So:

• autorestart - shows current status
• autorestart status - detailed info
• autorestart cancel - cancels the restart
• autorestart set 30m - schedules a restart

Should be all good now in next version! Let me know if you run into anything else.

Heya Crash,
Ah yes the native server command is the same,
I actually thought the plugin version would override it. 

I'm really glad you were able to resolve the issue and publish a fix already, great work!

Good choice on using "autorestart" as the command replacement.
Thanks  and hope you have a good day, 

Best regards,
Manky
