To schedule a reboot
-
@johnpoz -- how about a memory leak in 23.01 on my SG-1100. Is that a good enough reason to schedule a nightly reboot until they release a fix?

And what redmine is that exactly?

@johnpoz -- Memory leak might not be the correct terminology.

I have no idea what is going on with that thread to be honest.. I have only been on 23.01 for a day.. But I looked at mine and do see a bump in memory at 3am ish
A quick look at cron jobs do show a few things that kick off at 3am it seems.. But like I said only been running 23.01 for a day, so this is the first 24 hour period.. I will look to see what happens at 3am coming up.
But from what I am seeing I sure wouldn't schedule any sort of reboot schedule - that is insane.. And what does it solve - sure doesn't tell you what is causing it, etc.

@johnpoz I posted in https://forum.netgate.com/topic/177886/23-1-using-more-ram/41. Based on my second day it should not increase tonight.

@steveits yeah thanks - I saw tiny little change this morning
Just something to keep an eye for a few days.. Still not seeing anything that would justify any sort of reboot schedule that is for sure.

I know this is old, but some people do have reasons. I know I have an issue where DNS just stops resolving? but it takes between 2-4 months to actually act up.
Quick reboot and everything is up and running. I have not had time to diag what the issue is, and honestly when it happens my production environment goes down (My Computer Store). And I guarantee it only happens when I'm not here as it always does. I have to contact someone to pull the plug and give her a boot. That's not convenient. Is it a "me" problem, yup... But like many others, kind of shocked it's not already there. I'm not sure anyone's software is that perfect.
I'm not a programmer, but I know it's not that hard to pull off. What ransom would be asked to have a button run a cron job ?
For the now part, it would be great to reboot once a month, hell every 2. Is it a Band-aid? Yup, but would be a great one until I get the time to figure what's going on.
Just My2Cents.... And you get no change.

You can just add a cronjob to reboot if you need to.
-
Install cron package.
this is weekly, adjust for you:
minute hour mday month wday who command 1 4 * * 7 root /sbin/shutdown -r now -
I would use:
/etc/rc.rebootthere. It reboots more cleanly, stops pkgs backs-up ram disks etc. -
And a simple solution without asking 10 questions in return and being told your doing things wrong.
Thanks !
