That is exactly why is is a good idea to reboot (after major changes, and when you have time to handle it if it goes wrong): make yourself confident that the next time the computer reboots (which might be when you have no possiblity of fixing things) it will not come as an unpleasant surprise that those changes where not properly started at boot time. The OP wanted quite another thing though: regular reboots at nights. That should not be necessary, if it is then something is probably mis-configured, or has bugs. -- Hans Ekbrand
