Commands & Permissions

| Command | Permission | Description | |---------|------------|-------------| | `/reboot` | `redstonereboot.use` | Show plugin status and help | | `/reboot now [delay]` | `redstonereboot.restart.now` | Trigger a restart with optional countdown | | `/reboot schedule <seconds>` | `redstonereboot.restart.schedule` | Schedule a one-off restart | | `/reboot cancel` | `redstonereboot.restart.cancel` | Cancel a pending restart | | `/reboot status` | `redstonereboot.status` | Show restart schedule and next restart time | | `/reboot info` | `redstonereboot.status` | Show current TPS and memory readings | | `/reboot doctor` | `redstonereboot.doctor` | Run diagnostics on backend configuration | | `/reboot reload` | `redstonereboot.config.reload` | Reload all configuration files |

Backend Options

The backend setting controls how the server is actually restarted. Configure this in `restart-backends.properties`.

| Backend | Description | |---------|-------------| | `SHUTDOWN_ONLY` | Default. Shuts down the server; relies on an external process manager to restart it | | `LOCALSCRIPT` | Runs an auto-generated local wrapper script that restarts the server process | | `SYSTEMD` | Sends a restart command via systemd (Linux only) | | `DOCKER` | Relies on a Docker restart policy | | `PTERODACTYL` | Calls the Pterodactyl panel API to send a restart signal |

Backends can be switched and reloaded with `/reboot reload` — no full restart needed.
