2. Create a new task with a Time Offset of 0 seconds (immediately)
   1. The action of the task should be Send Command
   2. The Payload should be something like "say Restarting in 60 seconds"
   3. Click Create Task
3. Create another task the same as before, but adjust the to be 30 seconds
   1. The Time Offset means this task will run 30 seconds after the last task has been ran
   2. Adjust the Send Command Payload to be something like "say Restarting in 30 seconds"
   3. Click Create Task
4. Repeat Step 3 until you reach 1 seconds in any interval you'd like.
5. Finally create the final task that runs the backup or the final command
   1. Examples would include counting down to a server restart, or a scheduled server shutdown, or a server backup.
