The radio is the same
run *crontab -e* and vi will be started
press the letter *i*
copy and paste the following line into vi.
Code:
--------------------
0 5 * * * /sbin/reboot
--------------------
press the escape key
then type *:wq*
run *crontab -l* to display the cron job.
I have a script on my radio that just restarts squeezeplay twice a month
to keep the radio from rebooting every ~21days from the timer variable
overflow issue.
Unfortunately it requires disabling the watchdog timer for the
squeezeplay process id. I'll eventually make it available but it's
still too early days for that.
