Hi,

I'd like to schedule a reboot of my Ubuntu server.

When I type sudo crontab -l at the prompt, the following is displayed:

#m h dom mon dow        command
40 12 * * 0-7 eprints reboot

As I understand it, this should mean that at 40 minutes past 12 each day
the user eprints will issue the command reboot.

The problem is, nothing appears to be happening.

Do I need to specify the user?

Should the entries be separated by spaces, or tabs?

Any advice gratefully received.

Best regards,
