Server Control

Control your DayZ server's state and monitor its status directly from Discord.

What It Does

Server control commands let you start, stop, and restart your DayZ server without logging into the Nitrado web panel. You can also set up automatic restart schedules to keep your server stable.

Commands

Restart Server

/server restart

Sends a restart command to your DayZ server via the Nitrado API. The server will shut down and start again automatically.

Stop Server

/server stop

Stops the DayZ server completely. The server will remain stopped until you start it again or enable auto-start.

Useful for:

  • Applying manual configuration changes
  • Taking a break from the server
  • Troubleshooting issues
  • Taking a break from the server
  • Troubleshooting issues

Settings

Auto-Start

/server autostart On
/server autostart Off

When enabled, the bot will automatically restart your server if it goes offline.

Default: On

Refresh Nitrado Token

/server refresh-nitrado-token

Re-authorizes the connection between sbbot and your Nitrado account. Use this if the bot stops responding to server control commands or you start getting 401 error messages from bot.

The command will display a button that opens the Nitrado OAuth authorization page. Click it and grant permission to re-establish the connection.

Restart Schedules

Set automatic server restarts on a repeating schedule.

Open Restart Setup

/restarts

Opens an interactive setup view with two modes for configuring automatic restarts.

Mode 1: Set Specific Hours

Click Set Hours (clock icon) to select specific hours of the day when the server should restart.

  • Select 1 to 12 specific hours (00:00 to 23:00)
  • The server will restart at each selected hour
  • Example: Selecting 06, 14, and 22 means restarts at 6 AM, 2 PM, and 10 PM

Mode 2: Set Intervals

Click Set Intervals (refresh icon) to restart at regular intervals.

Available intervals:

Interval Description
1 hour Restart every hour
2 hours Restart every 2 hours
3 hours Restart every 3 hours
4 hours Restart every 4 hours
5 hours Restart every 5 hours
6 hours Restart every 6 hours
8 hours Restart every 8 hours
10 hours Restart every 10 hours
12 hours Restart every 12 hours

Important

The two modes are mutually exclusive — setting intervals cancels hour-based restarts and vice versa.

Clearing the Schedule

Click the Clear button (trash icon) to remove all restart scheduling. The message "No more restarts by sbbot.app" confirms the schedule has been cleared.
