<h2>Available actions</h2>
<p>The Schedules tab lets you queue actions to run automatically, either once or on a repeating basis:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Start</strong> — powers the server on.</li>
<li><strong>Stop</strong> — powers the server off.</li>
<li><strong>Restart</strong> — stops then starts the server.</li>
<li><strong>Command</strong> — sends a specific console command to the server at the scheduled time.</li>
</ul>

<h2>Timing options</h2>
<p>Pick an exact date and time for the task to run once, or toggle <strong>Start Immediately</strong> to fire it right away (within about 10 seconds). Enable <strong>Repeat</strong> to make the task recurring, with an interval you set in either minutes or hours.</p>

<h2>Tracking results</h2>
<p>Each scheduled task shows its next run time as a relative countdown, and the result of its last execution, so you can confirm a scheduled restart or command actually succeeded. Delete any task at any time from the list.</p>

<h2>Next steps</h2>
<p>Pairing a nightly restart with an automatic backup beforehand is a common setup — see <a href="/knowledge-base/managing-backups-and-restores">Managing Backups & Restoring Your Server</a>.</p>
