[WBEL-users] Cron Job help

[Shapiro, Mark]

It seems to me that you should log in as root, then switch to the
cron.monthly directory and create a file in that directory with the
statement

 

/sbin/shutdown -r now

 

 in it.

 

Then do a chmod +x on the file to make sure it is executable.

Subject: [WBEL-users] Cron Job help 

 

Hi-

 

Would someone be willing to assist me with setting up a Cron job that
would reboot my box on a monthly schedule? I have Googled for help and
found examples but I am perplexed with the syntax. I tried to use Webmin
to do this but could not ( each time I would try to run the job I was
informed I needed to run the job as a superuser...). Newbie instructions
would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks,

 

Mike
