# Conan Exiles Dedicated Server Updater / Service



What can this do?:



 * Clean shutdown your current server (Using AHK until we get RCON)

 * Update Check Interval (in Minutes)

 * Announce new update to a Discord and Twitch channel (x) Minutes before an update will take place

 * Update the Server

 * Auto Restart the Server after an Update

 * Auto Restart Server on Crash

 * Auto Restart Server After X Hours

 * Raiding Protection (Enable Hours that Raiding is allowed)

 * Avatar Protection (Enable Hours that Summoning Avatars is allowed)

 * Auto Install SteamCMD if not Found

 * Auto Install Conan Server if not found



*The updater needs write access to your steamcmd folder, so setup windows permissions for this. This is because appcache has to be removed prior to an update check to ensure the correct LIVE build version is returned from steam.*

Here you have a couple of parameters that will be replaced then the messages send.

You don't have to edit these messages, but if you'd like to you can, and must understand what these parameters are going to be replaced with.



```

@announcebefore -> This will be replaced with config.json value for announceperiod.

@restartinterval -> The config.json Server Restart Interval

@countdownminutes -> Countdown calculated from time now to expected shutdown.

@uptime -> Calculated from when the server was launched to the current time.

@version -> The new steam version detected.

```



### To Install / Uninstall as a Service

Open a cmd window in the directory. 

Then run:

```

ConanExilesUpdater.exe install

```

or

```

ConanExilesUpdater.exe uninstall

```



The Executable can control the service too. You can start and stop it with

```

ConanExilesUpdater.exe start

```

or

```

ConanExilesUpdater.exe stop

```
