Cron Scheduler
|
|
==============
|
|
|
|
From wikipedia:
|
|
|
|
> Cron is the time-based job scheduler in Unix-like computer operating systems. cron enables users to schedule jobs (commands or shell scripts) to run periodically at certain times or dates.
|
|
|
|
MSM uses cron to run periodical backups, syncronise worlds that are in RAM back to disk every half hour to prevent data loss in the event of a crash and roll Minecraft log files to prevent them getting to large each night.

See the <a href="https://github.com/marcuswhybrow/minecraft-server-manager/blob/latest/cron/msm">MSM cron file</a> in the repository for a detailed example. |
