About RustRCONRestartAnnouncer
This plugin sends RCON Restart messages to your server using Linux Cron Jobs.
Yep, it's a simple tool. that's why it's so cheap.
This tool is made to be used in combination with LinuxGSM and Cron Jobs.
Prerequisites:
-
A Linux dedicated server that lets you:
- Use custom files.
- Install Node/Run Node
- Set up cron jobs
- Node LTS - v18.17.1 at the time of publishing.
Setup:
- Unzip on your server.
- Run `npm i` in the same folder as the `package.json`
- Set up your config as you desire. See Config below
- Set up cron jobs. See LinuxGSM Cron Jobs.
Example Cron Jobs:
20 23 * * * /user/bin/node /home/rust/2xModded/RustRCONRestarter/src/main.js > /dev/null 2>&l 0 0 * * * /home/rust/2xModded/rustserver restart > /dev/null 2>&l
The above example starts this notice at 11:30 pm and then runs the restart command at 12:00 am.
Hence, why default config is 30 Minutes starting.
Config:
{ "address": "", "password": "", "restartingInMessage": "<color=#939393>The server will be restarting in <color=#cc3333>{0}</color>.</color>", "finalMessage": "<color=#939393>The server will be restarting <color=#cc3333>now</color>.</color>", "initialTime": 1800000, "initialTimeMsg": "30 Minutes", "notices": { "900000": "15 Minutes" } }
- Address: `192.168.0.1:28016`
- Password: `Super cool secure password`
- RestartingInMessage: Just like a rust Lang File, you can use colors. {0} will be replaced with your notices correlating to the countdown time.
- Final Message: To be displayed when the countdown hits 0.
- InitialTime: What time to start in MS (milliseconds).
-
Helpful Tool After hitting 10 Minutes, I recommend doing the math yourself. (minute * 60000)
- 30 Minutes: 30 * 60000 (1800000)
- Initial Time Msg: This should probably be the wording of your Initial Time. So if your Initial Time is "1800000" that would be "30 Minutes".
-
Notices: an object of string keys, with the correlating display text.
- "900000" is equal to "15 Minutes"
