# Scheduled Maintenance

Scheduled maintenance allows you to configure when maintenance will start, and optionally when it will end.

Schedules use the CRON timing format. You can use this website to help you generate the correct time.

# Managing Scheduled Maintenance

Set a Start Schedule

To schedule a maintenance start time, use the /maintenance schedule repeating start <crontime> command.

If your server is offline at the time maintenance is scheduled to start, it will be skipped, and executed at the next start time.

Set an End Schedule

To schedule a maintenance end time, use the /maintenance schedule repeating end <crontime> command.

If your server is offline at the time maintenance is scheduled to stop, it will be skipped, and executed at the next stop time.

Temporarily Disable Schedule on restart

To disable scheduled maintenance when your server restarts, use the /maintenance schedule disableOnRestart true|false command.

This will keep your schedule intact, but will disable maintenance when the server restarts.

# Disabling a maintenance schedule

To disable your maintenance schedule completely, you can use the same commands as above for start/stop, but set the time to "". Alternatively, set the start/end times in your config to "" and use the /maintenance reload command.
