How do I schedule restarts?

[IFeelYourPain]

I have a server that is busy. Sometime it will overload and I have to manually restart it. Is it possible to schedule a restart every 2-3 days?

Hello,

you can add cron task directly in your Cpanel, with the command reboot

1. Go to Server >> Scheduled Tasks
2. Select the root user
3. Click "Add New Task"
4. Configure the Task with :

Switched on : checked
Minute : 0
Hour : 0
Day of the Month : */2
Month : *
Day Of Week : *
Commande : reboot

This task will reboot your server every 2 days at 00:00

What if I wanted it to do this at say 2:00 AM?

Ok thanks, easy enough. Too bad it wasn't in the FAQ though or if it was I didn't see it.
