How can I schedule a clean shutdown of my server at the end of the day?

Can I add just a line to the go file?

 

Do I need to install any apps for this?

User Scripts plugin

You can also do it remotely via Plink (part of the Putty download).

 

I have the following line in my automated .CMD file that runs on a scheduled basis in Windows:

 

S:\Downloads\Putty\Plink.exe -ssh -pw <my password> root@<server name> powerdown

 

[My .CMD file turns on the server via WOL, waits 2 minutes, does a set of backups, and then powers down the server.]

I added this plugin

 

But how and where should I add which line. What should it contain to powerdown down at 01:00 for instance?

 

Can't just a simple line be added to the go file?

Did you read the User Scripts thread?

yes,

 

can I just add something like echo "powerdown" | at 02:00 to a scripts file in the config/plugins/user.scripts/scripts folder?

 

The ability to schedule a script is builtin to the plugin

make a folder within /boot/config/plugins/user.scripts/scripts called "Scheduled PowerDown"

 

make a file within there called "script"

 

contents of the file would be

 

#description=This will powerdown the server
powerdown

 

Then within user script's UI, set a custom cron schedule for it to be * 2 * * *

make a folder within /boot/config/plugins/user.scripts/scripts called "Scheduled PowerDown"

 

make a file within there called "script"

powerdown

Thanks, what exactly does * 2 * * do?

How do I change the time at which the server powers down?

 

 

 

 

what exactly does * 2 * * do?

Tells it when to run the script. Try it and the page will tell you what it means and you can figure out how to set it differently.

Did as instructed and created the script file in the scheduled powerdoen folder.

 

But don't see where I can set the * 2 * *.

 

I see the Apply Done and How to add scripts button but nothing else.

Did you set the schedule to be custom?

Gess not, how?

This plugin seems to have brought the UI to a crawl, it took ages to switch from tab to tab, dashboard main, settings etc.

 

Deleting the plugin from flash brought my system back to normal.
