Hi

Just setup a conjob to reboot it. But why the $%%^& should you reboot every 2 hours. That just don't make sense. Also means downtime every 2 hours for a couple of minutes. DOn't think your customers will appreciate it.

you're assuming he's a webhost...

11:33am up 478 days, 16:07, 1 user, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00

\\mail has been up for: 184 day(s), 18 hour(s), 28 minute(s), 7 second(s) (that's our mail server, it was up for just over 400 days before I had to reboot last time)

Reboot? what is this thing you call reboot? ;)

But seriously, I can't forsee any situation where users would want you to reboot that often. But, your crontab would look like this:

0 */2 * * * reboot

(get at it by 'crontab -e root' then esc-i paste it, then esc esc :wq [enter])

sorry to get off topic, he hes running plesk, I think its a safe bet that he is a webhost

Doesnt rackshack servers come with plesk? Are you telling me it's safe to bet all rackshack clients are webhosts?

even if he isn't a webhost. Why the hell reboot every 2 hour?!? That just don't make sense,

like starhost said, you can just setup cron job

sync;sync;reboot

Maybe he is a malcious user and wants to set a cron to pull a prank on his host? :D

Hi

all sorry i didnot have time to answer you questions(although i asked for your help:)

What i found my server Needs that reboot every two if not it gets halt it needs more resources i see and i donot have that money:)

and more importantly i need more info about cronjobs do anyone have documentation link
thanks

And

I am hosting my own sites no i am not a webhost

for plesk issue my host offered it free so...

Any chance you could let us know why on earth you need your linux box to reboot every 2 hours?? ;)

You want that much space and bandwidth with a domain name for just $35 a year!!!

And where exactly do you expect them to make a profit on that so that they can continue to provide you with the service??

Wait are you saying the resource usage keeps building up?

Might have rougue CGI scripts if that's the case.

wait a sec, what are your system specs

mine is only 500Mhz with 256MB memory

running mysql, apache, php, and sendmail

it goes for months

Oh well you see, that's just it. The host will set him up and after that he's on his own. Didn't you know that's what he's asking for? :rolleyes: ;)

Welcome to WHT, you obviously haven't spent much time in the requests forum :) People that visit here, generally want everything for virtually nothing... its sad really.

There's probably stuff you can do on the software end to prevent freezes (like a kernel upgrade, etc). It's also possible that it's a hardware problem. I'd ask your host for more information.
