### 2. Configure Cron Expression

Configure the schedule settings:

* **Schedule Name**: Name identifier (e.g. `Daily Auto Restart`).
* **Minute / Hour / Day of Month / Month / Day of Week**: Standard cron parameters (e.g. `0 4 * * *` for daily 04:00 AM restart).
* **Tasks**: Add actions such as:
  * `Power Action` → Restart / Stop / Start server
  * `Send Command` → Execute console commands

## Best Practices 💡

* Use schedules for daily automatic restarts to keep memory utilization optimized.
* Avoid setting cron intervals too short (e.g. every minute) to prevent unnecessary server strain.
