Auto Unload 1.0.1

Hi @TheGhostOfChaos I'm scratching my head trying to understand the use case for this plugin. Yes I understand that you can specify and add plugins to a list, which will cause them to be unloaded in a set interval. But I don't get why I would want that - could be my lack of imagination. I either want to have a plugin, then I install it and expect it to be there all the time. When I want to remove it I unload and remove it - no need to keep it unloaded when it is removed. What I understand from the plugin description appears to be a very niche use case, or I just don't get it.

I think your plugin could be really useful if you have dynamic rules on your server, maybe want to control the weather or events through other plugins, or disable PVE at certain times. In such a case profiles might be handy, and the ability to schedule over longer time periods - like, for example, every Thursday I want this profile to trigger, which should disable the set of plugins in that profile. When the scheduled duration is passed (e.g. "now" it is Friday) the previously disabled plugins should be loaded again. In the case of a server restart in between start and stop of a profile the intended profile status should be restored.

But maybe I'm making it too complicated. Can you give an example use case?

First off thank you for the idea ill might add that in the future.

So the reason i made this for my own use is i have added things in the server i am working on and that i dont want players to be able to use.
Example: Convoy or Jackpot.
Since i auto restart they get loaded everytime but i work on them almost everyday so adding and removing them would take more then using a plugin to disable them.

Since i have alot to do regarding Convoy as i use custom vehicle's its best to keep it unloaded after a restart and load when i have changed alot to see if it improved.

So eventough it might seem useless there are some specific moments it is helpfull and since i tought maybe other server owners would need something like this i shared it to help out.

And above all of that another big reason i made it.

Fun
