I want to make my server restart every day at 2 in the morning, using scheduled tasks, it asks me for a command, I put reboot, sudo reboot, and it gives me an error, what command could I use?

You are not using Windows.

Why do you want to restart so often?

/usr/sbin/reboot
And as of usermerge it's also available as /sbin/reboot

Why?

We Linux users are proud to show our uptimes, the longer the better.
We never reboot unless is absolutly needed, something like this is our goal:

Code: Select all

16:06:35 up 83 days,  2:57,  1 user,  load average: 1,58, 1,70, 1,72
And even that is short compared to a lot of others :lol:
