Close custom game server after specified amount of time?
Currently, I have my custom game server coded so that an instance exits when a match ends (victory/defeat) or all players leave the game or 60 minutes have elapsed (games should only take about 40 minutes max, so 60 is a safe upper bound).
However, in certain circumstances (such as server dropping someone's connection or erroring, I think), the server doesn't exit. I know this because I've observed some servers that have been running for 6+ hours.
Is it possible to configure the Game Wrangler or pass in some kind of command line argument that ensures that the server instance shuts down after, say, 1 hour after it is started?

Not currently - the way the system works for custom game servers is that instances only terminate if the executable exits or you use the terminate option in the Game Manager.
Why not just add in your own timer to kill the server after an hour?
