    Hi all!

    I'm experiencing some problems with my VPS lately (probably overloaded), which means that I have to restart it at least once per each 2 days.

    I have 2 questions regarding that:

    1 - Can I restart it automatically, everyday, or every week using some cron? How?
    2 - Considering I can access it with Putty, for example, is there a way to reboot it with a shell command? That way I could do it with my PDA...

    Thx for your help!

    Regarding your question #2:

    command is "shutdown -r now"

    why not upgrading to bigger vps, and keep it run stable? If it's overloaded, many people are using your sites? If restarting frequently, it can make users crazy and leave :)

    You can create a cron job to restart apache when server load exceeds a threshold.

    Another easy option is upgrade your VPS ;)
