You cannot execute shell scripts on the server.
That being said - why does the scheduled restart functionality in the control panel not work for you?
#[The Isle] auto restart

no its a script uploaded directly to the files in bisect not a shell, i tried to set that up for every 4 hours however it just didnt apply when i saved it
stuck valley
auto_restart.sh is what the bot caught - .sh means it's a shell script.
What did the scheduled task look like that didn't work?
mighty coyote
even if added to the current shell script to run the game? ive coded plenty of games before and this is the first issue ive had, but it may be because its not hosted from me but directly from bisect
stuck valley
Bisect is renting game servers - that means that it's designed to run the game. Nothing extra. So the only process that can run is the game server executable itself.
Allowing shell script execution would mean someone could try to spin up a separate process/service.
So if the scripting is internal to the game it will work. Running something external like a shell script will not.

thats where my brain went wrong then, my apologies and i do appreciate you!!

Let's see if we can get a scheduled restart through the panel to work? I don't know The Isle, but the restart should work about the same as any game since the panel does translation on certain stuff.
mighty coyote
ok ive got the schedule page open however the only downside is there is not an option to input text to notify the server via Announcement that there will be a restart in XX minutes to please log off to avoid game save issues.

im a dummy
you solved my stupidity for the day haha
well maybe you did and didn't i receive this command, and this is actually what happened to me last time
/announce Server will restart in 5 minutes please log off to avoid game-save issues!!!
Invalid command or missing arguments
even if i were to use the /announcement command it still calls back that invalid command or missing argument
/announcement Server will restart in 5 minutes please log off to avoid game-save issues!!!
Invalid command or missing arguments
so maybe its an issue on bisect side for the isle evirma where that command may not be properly implemented then?

Try removing the /?
Some games it's unnecessary when called from the server console or automations.
mighty coyote
ok it works and displays the command in the console on the browser however it does not send the announcement to the server, nor does the schedule manager restart the server when i click run now
stuck valley
Weird.
mighty coyote
very
stuck valley
I wonder if you have to do something to enable the server console commands? O.o
mighty coyote
o.o ill look into that right quick
stuck valley
Not a whole lot of Isle admins hanging around - if you can't figure it out, don't hesitate to contact staff through the website.
mighty coyote
ok thanks!! will also update you aswel with my findings as it could definetly come in handy for future questions that are brought to you're attention
mighty coyote
so from what i can figure out from web searching and asking the support team is that the integration of the quick console in bisecthosting is not directly linked to the evirma servers yet that is a work in progress, they did however provide me with the info that you can make it execute a python file in order to link the quick console and Admin Panel
however they have not provided me with such a script and said its bismal at most because its the least of the worries which makes sense considering they still have not integrated the other dinos into the game yet.
