Editing a schedule
You change a schedule's name, tasks, timing and options in the Edit schedule dialog. Tasks are edited there too, in the Tasks step.
Open the editor
- Open the Fragnet dashboard, go to My servers and select your server.
- On the Overview tab, in the Schedules card, select View all.
- Select the schedule's name, or open its ⋯ menu and select Edit.
You can also select a schedule's name straight from the Schedules card.
The editor has the same five steps as the New schedule wizard: Start, Tasks, When, Options and Review. When you're editing, you can jump to any step from the step bar at the top (on wider screens), and a Save button is available on every step once everything checks out.
Nothing changes until you select Save. If you close the dialog first, your changes are discarded.
Change the name
Open the Start step and edit Name. Templates aren't shown when you edit a schedule.
Edit tasks
Open the Tasks step. You can:
- change a task's type or fields, such as the command, the power action or the cleanup patterns,
- change a task's Wait … seconds after the previous task or Continue if this task fails,
- select Add task to add a task at the end (up to 10),
- select the × on a card to remove that task.
Tasks can't be moved. To change the order, change the type and fields of the existing cards. For what each task type does, see Schedule tasks.
Change when it runs
Open the When step and change Schedule date, Schedule time, Repeat this schedule or Repeat every. See Step 3: When for what each field does.
For a repeating schedule whose start date has already passed, the editor shows the next upcoming run as the start. That way, saving doesn't run the schedule straight away.
Change options
Open the Options step to turn Enabled, Only run while the server is online and, where offered, Only if no players are online and the failure alerts on or off. See Step 4: Options.
Pause or resume a schedule
To stop a schedule from running automatically without deleting it, turn off its On switch in the schedules list, or turn off Enabled in the Options step. The schedule shows Paused. You can still run it with Run now.
When you turn a repeating schedule back on, it carries on from its next regular time. Runs it missed while paused aren't caught up.
Delete a schedule
- In the schedules list, open the schedule's ⋯ menu and select Delete.
- In Delete schedule?, select Delete.
The schedule and its tasks are deleted. This can't be undone.
Older cron schedules
Schedules made before the dashboard used the cron format, with times in UTC. They keep running unchanged until you edit them. When you open one, the editor shows: "This schedule still uses the old cron format. Saving converts it to a start time and a repeat interval, so check both in the When step."
When you save, the dashboard sets the start to the schedule's next run (shown in your time zone) and picks the closest repeat:
| Old cron timing | Becomes |
|---|---|
| Every N minutes | Every N Minutes (at least 5) |
| Every hour, or every N hours | Every 1 or N Hours |
| Once a week on one day | Every 1 Weeks |
| Once a day | Every 1 Days |
| Anything else (several set hours, several weekdays, a day of the month, a month) | Every 1 Days |
Cron patterns in the last row can't be expressed as a single repeat. Check the When step before you save, and split the schedule into several schedules if you need to. For example, make one weekly schedule for each weekday it should run on.
Only saving from the editor converts a schedule. Turning its On switch on or off doesn't.
If saving fails
If an error appears when you select Save, fix anything highlighted and select Save again. The dashboard picks up where it stopped, so it doesn't create duplicate schedules or tasks.
