Auto-reboot

[Djelibeybi]

Anyone successfully managed to get a WHM-managed server to auto-reboot via Crontab? Any suggestions welcome.

I was jus wondering this same thing to,

I used to run a server which I needed to reboot every 6 hours. I ran the following via cron:

1. pico/vi /etc/crontab
2. * 03 * * * root reboot

This would reboot your server everyday at 3 AM

Ok, I tried that crontab entry and it seemed to reboot my server over and over again from 3am to 4am. Not quite what I had in mind. Am I doing something wrong?

The * 03 * * * means to perform the task every minute for the 3am hour.
It should be 0 03 * * * which means only at exactly 3am.

How about put it under /etc/cron.daily ?

Just curious.... is there some reason you want your server to auto-reboot?
