Cron syntax? - for daily restart

Yes, I know it's a Linux box and not recommended.  But, I want to implement a daily reboot - as a stopgap measure.  What time should I schedule it for, so as not to interfere with Astaro's daily activities?   I'm running 9.x

I tried searching the forum, but didn't find it.

I have a problem where one of the interfaces (Intel NIC) randomly quits passing traffic.  A reboot fixes it for a few days.  It's reminiscent of problems with early versions of 9.0.

I'm not running an appliance - this is for the software version.  I'll start another thread in an hour or so, asking about a temporary hardware replacement.

Hi, reporting is done just after midnight, local time.

Any other time is probably OK, but this still isn't a great idea.

I've been on the forum (mostly as a lurker), since the 7.0 days.  I know it's not recommended, but I need to do something.  Can you provide the syntax/commands, either public or privately?

As I said in my other thread, I'm even willing to temporarily drop in a faster box, with some additional NIC's.

I provide volunteer support to this small non-profit.  This issue is becoming a thorn in my side.  I need to do something quickly.

Hi,

Cron hacking on the UTM:

shutdown -r now

should do it.
