    Hi all,

    Happy with my rpi but have sometimes problems to use squeezebox server.
    Devices that use sbs don’t react all times. When doing the restart of the rpi and the restart of the squeezebox server it works again.

    That’s why I want to restart the server and the rpi every day at 3.00 in the morning, but i dnon’t kwow how to do that.

    Can anybody help how to set this up?

    The easiest way to schedule something on Linux is the crontab

    edit /etc/crontab and add something like

    00 03 * * * root /sbin/shutdown -r now

    That will run the shutdown command at 3am every day

    Hi, thanks for helping.

    But the shutdown function does that also restart the rpi?

    Yes. The -r argument tells the shutdown command to restart the PI once the shutdown process is complete.

    -h would halt the system, and on PC or other systems with an intelligent power supply would turn it off
