Automate reboot?

[AIXSUN]

Hello
Does anyone know of a script that can be written to automate a shutdown/reboot process at a specific time on a specific day?
The sun box is an Ultra 5 v5.7

Thanks

Thanks Crowe
One question...how do you do it? I would like to have the sun server perform a shutdown once per week at a scheduled time and to do this every week.

Thanks again

edit root's r crontab file (crontab -e). add the entry there and save it. For more info on the format of a cron file, if you are not sure, just do a man on crontab.

Hi,

a remark on the earlier replies:

"init 5" shuts down and does a power-off as well!
I don't think that this is what you want to do...

What you place in the crontab is the following line (crontab -e as user root)if you want to reboot the machine once a week:

01 00 * * 6 /usr/sbin/shutdown -g0 -i6 2>&1

This example will reboot the machine every Saturday at 00:01.

Cheers,
