Great, I got that. But when does the change in the .sysdef take place?
Like if a pickup game is running at 5:59pm and the cron job runs and
changes .sysdef file does the new changes take place or do I have to
reset the server?

Speaking of reset, how do I the lexus functionality of nuking everyone
at the appropriate time and resetting the server?
