      Like easydigital says you don't need a script, you just need to add in the crontab the line indicated by him.

      Just to complete the answer the command must be run using for example DCC.

      1. Open Dcc, enter IP and credentials, connect to the box

      2. Go to telnet

      3. Type this command : crontab -e

      4. At the end of the file enter this line : 0 0 * * * root reboot

      The last line means that your dreambox will reboot at 00:00 every day

      If you want your box to reset at 04:30 AM you just use : 4 30 * * * root reboot

          It doesn't work on my GP3 image. When i type "crontab -e" i get an error message: ->
          crontab: chdir(/crontabs): No such file or directory
          Can someone help me?

            I believe there are plug-ins that can do this for you.

            About the cronjob, wil it stay resident in the memory when the receiver is fully power off or do we have to put the command line again after a power off?
