Overview

This node operation allows scheduling a server restart either immediately or after a specified delay. It is useful for maintaining or updating the server without manual intervention, ensuring minimal downtime by automating restarts. For example, an administrator can schedule a daily restart at a specific time or trigger an immediate restart with a reason and delay.

Use Case Examples

1. Schedule a daily server restart at 3:00 AM in the Asia/Jakarta timezone.
2. Restart the server immediately with a reason 'Maintenance update' and a 5000 ms delay.
