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.</SPAN></FONT></P></DIV>
