Hi,

I access my linux box remotely only (no monitor, keyboard or mouse attached)
and I was just wondering if there's a way to get my system to automatically
reboot once a week (at some ungodly hour of the night when I should be in
bed)? Even better, is it possible for it to only reboot if no one is using
it?

I'm using Red Hat 9 and the remote logon screen doesn't show the shutdown or
reboot commands. Is there a way to make it do this? Or do I have to log in
as root and type 'shutdown -r now' to do it manually?

Cheers,
Richard
