Scheduled Restart?

Is it possible to schedule a router reboot? I find that my 60Bs have problems forwarding DNS requests after 30-45 days of uptime. I want to prevent that by scheduling a reboot once a month in the middle of the night.

Hello, schedule or cron a task in one machine that connect to your box and execute for example a CLI batch command or directly ' execute reboot' cli command. If you are not managing your 60b' s pool, there' re workarounds in the forum using scripts (expect language is the best imho) to manage login to the boxes from external pc' s hope it helps.

There is no " by specific day" schedule, but a " by every day" :
 #config system global
 #set daily restart ena
 #set restart time hh:mm
 #end
 
-R.

Tray Kiwi Cattools on a Windows server. It is free for until 5 devices and there you can schedule frequent reboot (monthly?) beside regular backup. Y
