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

    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.

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