Hi everybody, 
 is it possible to schedule a custom script (can't find crontab command from advanced shell) ? 
 
 Thanks

I'm using an expect script running on my Linux box to reboot the XG nightly ... works well:

#!/usr/bin/expect -f
spawn ssh <XG IP> -l admin
expect "password:"
send "<Admin Password>\r"
expect "Select Menu Number \\\[0-7\\\]:"
send "7\r"
expect "Shutdown(S/s) or Reboot(R/r) Device (S/s/R/r): No (Enter) >"
send "r\r"
expect eof
exit

Hi, 
 Cronjob privileges are not provided in XG. 
 Thanks

Hi Vik, 
 sorry for the late answer but you don't need to use expect for this - simply use 
 
 ssh <XG IP> -l admin /bin/sh reboot 
 
 If you call directly command /bin/sh it works and you skip the whole menu. If you try it without a reboot, it looks like it doesn't but don't blame yourselves :D It's a shell without prompt - type ls and push ENTER - you see? :) 
 Best regards,
