Arguments

What it does
An empty server hibernates and stops thinking, which pauses Lua timers and Think hooks. Set it to 1 if an addon must keep working with nobody online, for example scheduled tasks or a Discord relay.

Run it on your server
On a SLASHPLAY server, type it in the Console tab of the server page; the reply shows right under it. A value set there lasts until the server restarts. To keep it, add the line to garrysmod/cfg/server.cfg. New to this? Start a GMod server first.
