cronjob not setting instance

Arkmanager 1,6 Arch cronie

I am have issues getting instance names set with Arkmanager. Every time I specify, it defaults to @all. Pardon my noobness, I am new to Linux, like less then 20hrs at the desk. On top of that It only seems to keep 2. My apologizes if this something I missed in your Wiki.

So I figured it out, manually changing the @all. But I am curious if I went about this the right way. I've tried the restart feature for restart @all --warn. It's takes 90minutes for all 3 servers to fully reboot. So I went with 3 separate.

Is it better to plan for 15min of downtime. create a cronjob to stop all servers, preform a backup, check for update, apply if needed then start all 15min later?

Anyways, during my search for a solution I noticed a ton of questions about how to setup cronjobs. I think the wiki could use some basic examples like:

Do you want your server to restart every morning? This will start a 30min countdown and restart. arkmanager install-cronjob restart @all --daily --hour=6 --warn --saveworld

Do you want to back up your server before applying an update? This will start a 30min countdown. arkmanager install-cronjob update @all --daily --hour=6 --warn --saveworld --backup

Do you want to broadcast your message of the day periodically? arkmanager install-cronjob rconcmd showmessageoftheday @all --minute=*/45

Do you want to broadcast a message through the server periodically? (wish there was an option for server chat (unsure about broadcastcmd) arkmanager install-cronjob broadcast "Join us on Discord" @all --hourly
