This will be a possible future replacement / enhancement of the Scheduler-plugin
and some things that are implemented in scheduled functions in other plugins or even complete services like cleanup and
backup and maybe monitoring.
You can use it to run pre-defined actions at specific times. For now, this can be:
- report - generate reports with the Reporting Framework
- restart - restart your DCS servers or rotate missions (no user warning implemented yet!)
- cmd - run a shell command
More to come.
As per usual, the service is configured with a yaml file, in this case config/services/scheduler.yaml:
DEFAULT:
actions:
- cron: '0 * * * *' # run every full hour
action:
type: report # generate a report
params:
file: mysample.json # using this template in reports/scheduler
channel: 1122334455667788 # channel to post the report in
persistent: true # is it a persistent report? (default = true)
- cron: '0 3 * * 0,2-6' # reboot the server each night but Monday at 03:00
action:
type: restart
params:
reboot: true # reboot the PC (shutdown /r)
- cron: '0 4 * * 1' # shut the server down once a week on Monday
action:
type: halt # reboot the server each monday night at 03:00
- cron: '0 12 * * *' # run every 12 hrs
action:
type: purge_channel # purge Discord channels
params:

DCS.release_server:
