Automatically start Joint Ops after restart?
 

Does anyone know of a way to a Joint Ops server automatically restart itself after Windows restarts? Patch Tuesday requires me to log in and manually restart them and I often forget to do that. Any help would be appreciated.

Probably would be better to turn off the auto reboot feature from updates. That's what I do to prevent my game servers from rebooting automatically (although they do for "feature" updates. Then I can just do it when convenient.

Otherwise, something like https://www.autoitscript.com/site/ might be useful to you.

Thanks, I'll look into that. I wrote a PowerShell script to do the autokeys but since it required an active console session to run, it didn't work. This looks like it may work.

Although my goal is to maintain security by letting the automatic updates install, I still want to use the "set it and forget it" approach here since it is just a game server and I don't want to have to remember to keep checking it every month. I just don't know why NovaLogic didn't consider this.

If the computer auto boots into a profile you could probably just make a shortcut to the powershell script and place it in the startup folder. It should launch when the computer logs in.
