Can Someone Help Me Setup a Cron Job to Reboot System at 3:00 am

For those of you who do not know me I am 16 "Lame" but learning.
I was hoping to do something like this maybe reboot -h 5 "Sys maintenance"
Would this be possible?

A better question might be why would you want to do such a thing?

Thank you GruensFroeschli & cmb for your reply. I have already read that post GruensFroeschli, thank you for pointing it out. Thought I would ask some quesitons before I went blindly chasing a wild goose. I Should of been more discriptive from the start. So here goes.
I have pfsense setup like this in my dads store we live across the street. The shop is direct line of site and everything works well as fare as internet access.

What happens is I can view the camras from the 10.0.0.0/24 network I can log into the camra system and view the footage past or present. Sometimes I can't untill I reboot the pfsense boxes. Do I have to put static routes in the Gateway for the 192.168.2.10/24? Thought I would try to just reboot once a day to see if that would help. I am just learning so please treat me like a big dummy.

Rebooting "solves" the problem, but it's not fixing the cause of the problem. It's always best to fix the problem rather than mask the symptoms with a hack.

What is used as the default gateway on the 10.0.0.0/24 network?

Thank you for your reply cmb, I am using pfsense 1.2 on the gateway computer.
