Why would you need that? If there is a memory leak or something, that needs to be addressed first. Solve the problem, not the symptom.

But that wasn't your question was it? I understand that is probably what you've already tried.

I would experiement with putting it into a PHP script that simply does a `reboot`; I am not sure if you could launch reboot directly from a cron job.

Code:

<?php

 `reboot`;

?>

*Notice the backwards quote.

Then your cron job does:

php /home/folder/reboot.php
