[WBEL-users] Cron Job help

That would be the "Red Hat" and/or "White Box" way of doing it, yes.  ;-D

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.

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
