Making a use cases diagram for an automated system

How exactly does one draw out a use cases diagram when everything is automated? Here is an example with a request I got:

"Make a modification that resets a game server to a certain map or switches gametypes when there have been no players for 2 hours"

Now, there are basically no users in the classical sense. The modification in question kicks in automatically once it's been added to the server. Thinking ahead there would be a timer that would poll the number of players at a regular interval and then start a countdown once that number is zero. Then the timer would call a method that would trigger a change.

What Actors can you see in this description?
