Restarting the server doesn't solve the root of the problem. You might want to do something else, like killing resource consuming processes.

I agree with Priyadi. Setting up a process like this would make your server very susceptible to DoS attacks, an attacker could simply increase the load on the server and force it to continuously reboot.
