Ready to give your Minecraft server its own daily routine? In this step-by-step tutorial I walk you through creating three powerful BisectHosting schedules that:
Start a powered-off server at the exact time you choose.
Stop the server gracefully each day (with a player warning).
Kill any stubborn process that ignored the stop order—so you never pay for idle time!
Along the way you’ll see a real-world “oops” moment: I accidentally put the stop task before the warning say task—and the message never fired. Watch me diagnose the failure, adjust the timing, reorder the tasks, and prove the fix live on camera. You’ll leave knowing why task order matters and how schedule names keep you organized.
🔧 What You’ll Learn
1. Choosing smart schedule names that reflect their tasks
2. Setting precise execution times (with 24 h clock)
3. Preventing lost player progress with a 15-minute warning
4. Using “kill” as a safety net, not a first resort
