Server Shutdown

1 KB, 13 years ago, submitted by McTwist

Scenario
You are hosting a server with at least 10 players online at the same time. Suddenly you get a phone call of you have to do something urgent. You setup how long more your server will be up, and then leaves, knowingly that it will shut down the time you told it.
This can also be used to tell the users how long you will have your server up.

Information
You insert the command for shutdown with the minutes as argument. Then it shows each tenth minute left, the last five and one minute. It also shows each second when it's ten seconds left.

Commands
All commands are host only and does only work on an Internet server.
- /Shutdown [minutes] - Insert amount of minutes until shutdown, and the countdown starts.
- /AbortShutdown - Aborts the current shutdown. Everything goes back to normal.
- /AbortSh - Same as above.

Recommendation
Let you or an admin to save before the server shuts down so you don't loose your build.

Voidstarz
...........who would shutdown the server with this???? wats the point of it???
MrWheehaw
I guess its good if your friend wants to finish something, then save it themselves for later, but you have to go. You would set it to close in 5 minutes so your friend has time to finish whatever it is.

I dunno, im just throwing it out there

Voidstar, this is for people who need to go somewhere, so they set the server to close in 15 minutes, while they shower or dress, so that they dont spend more time shuttin off the server than getting ready to go. Think before you speak.
Evo Chief
Don't make one were you can't stop the shutdown, or else parents will have control over all fun.

5/5

Instead of leaving a rate, you could use the built in system and do it that way.
CroinJohnGold
Could be useful, but the phone scenario doesn't seem right.
I guess the same could happen to me but only on weekends when my friends are over... :P uselessinformation yus.

How do you cancel it when you set it off

@kidpower:

It says in the main post:

/AbortShutdown - Aborts the current shutdown. Everything goes back to normal.

That means /AbortShutdown or /AbortSh cancels it. Holy Guthix!! Learn 2 read!
Aerilin
Nicely done, helps gets rid of people asking why the server shut down.
Ryanboy
Just like a timebomb, no?
McTwist
If you call your server a bomb, then yes...
Eksi

Cad Bane--

That's a bad idea, Period, if somebody knows you have it they could type it, then BOOM you lose your server. Think of that BEFORE you DL
McTwist
@it1 - You're an idiot. Do you really think that Ephi would approve if it does that? Of course I check if it's the host that throws the command! And I even have two commands to cancel it. Not one, but two!
Check your source before stating false fact.

@it1

Doesn't work. I use it and set it to 180 minutes. I leave the server, try to join it again right away, and it's down.
McTwist
This mod wasn't designed for that amount of minutes, but I'll see what I can do about it.
