Re: rebooting linux using php

If you're going to use the cron file (or crontab) then php wouldn't work because it is a programming languages for the web pages. For cron files or crontab, you can use the bash shell or ksh or whatever you have. It's simple. All you had to do is to create a file on hte Unix/Linux machine and do the following ... --clip-- #!/usr/bash /usr/bin/shutdown -Fr now --clip-- Then edit the crontab or cron to put in the time you want the machine to be rebooted.
