📋Schedule a new task

Step-by-step guide to schedule automatic tasks on your server (restarts, backups, commands).

The automatic tasks are used to run actions at fixed times. Examples: daily restart, server command, scheduled maintenance.

Objective

Create a schedule (days + times), then add tasks (actions).

Step-by-step guide

1

Create a schedule

On the dashboard, click Create a new schedule.

Fill in:

• Name (e.g. Daily restart)

• Execution days (e.g. every day, or Mon/Wed/Fri)

• Execution time(s)

• Activation (the schedule must be activated to run)

Then click Create the schedule.

2

Add a task to the schedule

On the schedule, click the menu ⋯ then Add a task.

3

Configure the task (action)

Fill in:

• Action (e.g. restart, run a command)

• Delay between tasks (useful if you chain multiple actions)

• Command (if the action requires it)

Finish with Create.

Good habit: start with a “test” schedule in 5 minutes. You can confirm the trigger before switching to daily.

Common issues

• Nothing happens at the scheduled time : check that the schedule is enabled.

• Wrong time : check the timezone used by your server and retest.

• Task created but no effect : confirm that theaction chosen matches the need (restart vs command).

FAQ

Can I put multiple tasks in a single schedule?

Yes. Add multiple tasks and use the delay to chain them properly.

What is the “delay between tasks” for?

To prevent two actions from starting at the same time. Example: backup → wait 60s → restart.

How do I modify or delete a schedule?

Open Automatic tasks, then use the menu ⋯ on the schedule.
