Hi Mandza

Sounds like a funny thing to do to me, but simple enough. You use root's crontab to reboot. Edit it with

sudo crontab -e

And add

0 1 * * * /sbin/reboot

Or perhaps more elegantly:

55 12 * * * /sbin/shutdown -r 01:00 'Daily reboot'

Hope that helps. Why do you want to reboot it?

Kind regards,
Jonathan.
