The in-line restarting script has troubles executing #shutdown command to end the process, the only thing you can do to work-around it, is to use a 3rd party software with scheduler, like Battleye Extended Controls to execute the #shutdown command for you, there is plenty of examples how to do it if you search the site.

So they are trubels to send the command.  

Think about  to biuld a loop with #Shutdown  command. So when He dont Shutdown Itself , thats He try it again and again. 

 

I have bec Since years. But i was happy to See a ingame Restart.  

 

Bat for the win.  Ya and no.  Its a nice way.  But not perfect

BEC is usually installed with all Arma 3 servers. Just use that. I can provide you with my scheduler.xml if you'd like. It restarts at 4 hours with a bunch of warnings.

Would you mind posting your BEC restart xml?

I use the Exile warnings and Exile playerkick + lock, the rest I handle by BEC Scheduler as below: 

<job id='0'> {THIS IS THE PRIMARY #SHUTDOWN}
        <day>1,2,3,4,5,6,7</day>
        <start>055830</start>
        <runtime>000000</runtime>
        <loop>0</loop>
        <cmd>#shutdown</cmd>
    </job>
<job id='1'> {SECONDARY #SHUTDOWN IF PRIMARY FAILS}
        <day>1,2,3,4,5,6,7</day>
        <start>055900</start>
        <runtime>000000</runtime>
        <loop>0</loop>
        <cmd>#shutdown</cmd>
    </job>

Works very well for me.

Server restarts is every 6th hour, from which I start the command after server runtime of 05h 58m 30s and 05h 59m 00s.

The #lock command in Exile works as it should, likewise with player 0-99 kick,

Additionally I've experienced that #unlock doesn't execute always as well, when server is ready to accept players, and therefore I've made following: 

 <job id='7'> {PRIMARY FAIL SAFE #UNLOCK}
        <day>1,2,3,4,5,6,7</day>
        <start>000300</start>
        <runtime>000000</runtime>
        <loop>0</loop>
        <cmd>#unlock</cmd>
    </job>
<job id='8'> {SECONDARY FAIL SAFE #UNLOCK}
        <day>1,2,3,4,5,6,7</day>
        <start>000330</start>
        <runtime>000000</runtime>
        <loop>0</loop>
        <cmd>#unlock</cmd>
    </job>

Hope that gives you an idea of how to do it B|
