| (Valid for Eco v0.10.1.5 beta release-619 - verified 2024/03/20)
| | The server software will automatically save the world and shutdown the server when it is closed. |
| | |
| Shutting down the Eco server can be performed either directly from the operating system (Windows), with slash commands in-game or via RCON.
| |
| | |
| === Directly from OS ===
| |
| If running the Eco server on Windows, there will be a console window displayed in addition to the configuration GUI.
| |
| | |
| Select the console window and issue a Ctrl+C. The server will save and exit gracefully.

| | |
| === Via Slash Command in-game ===
| |
| When in-game, administrators can issue the following Slash Command:
| |
| | |
| /manage maintenance <nowiki><time>, <message>, <reason></nowiki>
| |
| | |
| where:
| |
| | |
| * <nowiki><time> is expressed as the local server time in hh:mm format (eg: 06:00)</nowiki>
| |
| * <message> is a text string explaining to players the reason for the maintenance
| |
| * <reason> is the operation to be performed. Valid options are Shutdown, Restart and Update
| |
| | |
| | |
| e.g. '''/manage maintenance 06:25, quick reboot to install a mod, Shutdown'''
| |
| | |
| Note 1: Be sure to use commas (,) between arguments.
| |
| | |
| Note 2: When shutting down via Slash Command or RCON, no Save is reported. If using this method, be sure to first issue a /manage save
| |
| | |
| When the specified time arrives, the console will display confirmation and progress as illustrated.

| |
| | |
| Note 3: The "Reason" given on the console is the value of the <message> argument.
| |
| | |
| === Via RCON ===
| |
| Shutting down the server via RCON is the same as for Slash Commands but the slash is not needed.
