Cron to Restart Services

[dynamicwebs]

Wondering if someone knows how to write a cron job to restart whm services on a scheduled basis. I was just on vacation in an area of Canada that has no cellular services and over 100 miles from the nearest wifi connection point. My whm mail services froze for the entire server for 48 hours and several clients were very upset. I would love to write a cron job that would restart one or more services on a scheduled basis. Does anyone know how to do this?

Thanks,

Frank

Howdy,

It would be easy to add the lines

@daily service exim restart
@daily service <servicename> restart

to your crontab as root.

Thanks!

Also, make sure the services like exim are checked in the Monitor column as well.
