To set up auto commands for your server can be complex but will help you manage your server better. The below example is explained
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<EssentialsConfig xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<AutoCommands>
<AutoCommand>
<Enabled>true</Enabled> - Tells essentials if the command should be run or not
<Name>Disable Refineries on boot</Name> - A name for the command so you can easily see what's what
<OnStart>true</OnStart> - Tells essentials that this command should be run at server start
<Interval>00:05:00</Interval> - this should be a little longer than it takes for your server to fully start up
<DayOfWeek>All</DayOfWeek> - you can set a specific day for this to run or setting it to All will make it run every day
<Steps> - the steps you want it to take
<CommandStep> - the start of the first command step
<Command>!blocks off type Refinery</Command> - this will turn off all refineries 5 minutes into the server startup (if your server takes 4 minutes to start it will run 1 minute after startup)
</CommandStep> - end of the first command step
</Steps> - end of all steps
</AutoCommand> - end of this command
</AutoCommands> - end of all commands
