reboot firwall with cronjob

Toto
because of my problem with the pppoe interface hang ups,
i like to reboot my firewall with a cron job..

so i did a new file crontab.misc put in (found in forum here)

* 14 * * * root /sbin/reboot

the problem with this is : it works , but after the firewall
comes up it loops . the firewall reboots without end..
any ideas ?

    Toto,

    you told the firewall to reboot when hour matches 14 which is normally the case from 14:00 to 14:59 .. your firewall is going to reboot for an hour..

    try this to reboot e.g. at 14:03 :

    3 14 * * * root /sbin/reboot

    cheers
