Hi there,
I've scheduled RAT to perform a daily restart of my 7DTD server.
The restart is working fine and the game is restarting fine, but RAT is not connecting back.
Each day I have to login and click Server Connection manually.
Am I missing something in my config maybe ?
 
Makes sense, sorry for the dumb question :-S

By the way, when enabling the auto restart via RAT we started to have issues with the electricity. In at least two players' base, they lost all engines stored in their generators and all the wiring was gone.
After a quick search online I figured out I had to restore power.dat from backup (thanks RAT for the automated backup), and after a server restart all was back to normal.

Maybe this is just a coincidence, but this bug appeared for the very first time, on the exact same day I enabled the server auto restart in RAT earlier in the morning
Is RAT shutting down the server in a specific way or simply making using of the console shutdown command to gracefully shut it down (which I would expect)?
 
All good, questions are good. =) As for the auto reconnect, it wouldn't have anything at all to do with the problem you were experiencing. When shutdowns happen, RAT performs the content in the Server Shutdown Now event, which by default is just using the "shutdown" command to shutdown.
