Walkthrough

Documentation section added to README.md describing lack of built-in automated restart functionality, providing guidance to set up a cronjob with an example cron expression, and noting docker-compose command naming considerations. The section appears twice in the document.

Changes

Cohort / File(s)	Summary
Documentation Addition README.md	Added "How to automatically restart every X hours?" section explaining automated restart setup via cronjob with example syntax and docker-compose naming note (appears twice in file)

Estimated code review effort

🎯 1 (Trivial) | ⏱️ ~3 minutes

• Primary attention point: Verify whether the duplicate section is intentional or an unintended duplication that should be consolidated
• Confirm cron expression syntax and docker-compose command guidance accuracy

Poem

🐰✨ A doc was penned with care and thought,
On restarting tasks that time has taught,
Yet twice it greets the reader's eye—
A duplicate truth, but oh my my!
Still helpful words for those who seek,
To automate their system's peak!

58-64: Clarify placeholder values in cron example.

The cron example uses placeholder values (YourDockerUser and /path/to/docker/compose/file) that should be better contextualized for users who may not be familiar with cron. Consider adding a brief note explaining these need to be replaced with actual values.

Learning: In the EvilOlaf/scum repository, providing detailed help with customizing the gaming experience (such as extensive SCUM server configuration guidance) is out of scope. The repository focuses on the Docker container setup rather than comprehensive game server customization documentation.

@EvilOlaf: I apologize for the confusion in the AI-generated summary. After examining the README.md file, I can confirm that the section "How to automatically restart every X hours?" appears only once in the file, at lines 58-64.

The statement in the summary about the section appearing twice was incorrect. The README.md contains this section only in one location, and there is no duplication.

The section correctly appears after "How to customize SCUM server" and before "Which Docker image? main or latest?" with no duplicates present in the file.
