[Feature Request] - Daily/scheduled game server restarts if no players connected

[GMBridge]

Have you read the Important information text above

• [X] Yes i did

Current behavior

container must be manually restarted (or a system cron job created to restart it) and if players are connected, this risks save file corruption.

Desired behavior

container uses a daily (or other interval) script against (possible options)

• RCON to see if players are connected, if no players are connected, it restarts the game server or if players are connected then either skips the scheduled reboot or does a broadcast message to the server that the reboot is pending in XX minutes
• if RCON isn't a good option, can the incoming UDP datagrams be monitored and if no UDP traffic in YY interval, declare server is 'idle' and restart game server?

why this is needed: early access games typically have memory leaks that over time lead to poor performance or file corruption. less risk of corrupting saves if restarted with no players connected.

Hey @GMBridge the new exit-trap-handler should softly exit the game now and not kill it totally. I assume the server saves before but im not sure ... 🤷

Regarding the other stuff, please look at #27 the part about rcon things before stop.

Will look into this for the server restart feature I'm implementing, will discuss it with @jammsen on the best way to do it 😊 Feel free to spark ideas or links for us to be inspired ✨

This is fixed in the release on latest from 5 minutes ago. See Changelogs or Discord message regarding the new release and what to lookout for. We dont cover the idle part, but you can setup restarts via Cron-Expressions, which should help you out.

Im closing this issue as resolved, feel free to reach out again if you need help.
