How to schedule automatic restarts on your Arma Reforger server

Scheduled restarts help keep long-running Arma Reforger servers stable and give players a predictable maintenance window. Use the Scheduled Tasks area to create a restart task at a quiet time.

1. Open your Arma Reforger server in the control panel.
2. Click Scheduled Tasks from the left side menu.

   

3. Click New above the task list.

   

4. Set Task Type to Scheduled Start/Stop/Restart, then click [ New ].

   

5. On the Restart Schedule tab, give the task a clear name, such as Daily restart or Fortnightly restart, and leave Enabled ticked.

   

6. Set the first Start date and time. Pick a quiet time for your main player region.
7. Set Type to Daily for an every-day restart, or Weekly if you want a weekly or two-week maintenance pattern.
8. Save the task.
9. Return to Scheduled Tasks and check the Next Run Time so you know when the restart will happen.

If you run a public server, tell players when the restart normally happens so they can avoid losing progress during active sessions.
