hi OldBoy,
i need to restart GD3 boards on a weekly or daily basis to resolve a strange issue with analog extensions. im not aware of any script writing or anything. so if there is a way to schedule a re boot by script in oxe, can you guide me to it..

Just add one of the following lines on the crontab using the command "crontab -e"
If every day at 2am
00 02 * * * /usr2/oneshot/mtcl/tool rstcpl Cr Cpl

If every monday at 2am
00 02 * * 0 /usr2/oneshot/mtcl/tool rstcpl Cr Cpl

Note that you must replace Cr and Cpl with the position of the GD that you want to restart

Correction:
the line
00 02 * * 0 /usr2/oneshot/mtcl/tool rstcpl Cr Cpl
is for every sunday
for every monday is:
00 02 * * 1 /usr2/oneshot/mtcl/tool rstcpl Cr Cpl

You need enter the data as sadim has stated but be carful when you do it, basically you are running the vi command.

can i suggest you do a search on the vi command for linux to make sure you insert correctly and then also save and write the file correctly

[sadim]

Hi,
As oldboy says, it is like vi.
But if you are not comfortable using the crontab command, you can perform the following sequence of commands
crontab -l > mycrontab
Note: on the next line do not forget to change Cr and Cpl by the GD position (ex: 2 0)
echo "00 02 * * 0 /usr2/oneshot/mtcl/tool rstcpl Cr Cpl" >> mycrontab
crontab mycrontab
Then, and in order to check if the crontab contents its ok:
crontab -l

hi,, thanks for the detailed info. i will try it and check.. thank you ''sadim and oldboy''

[morio]

good news,
my trial worked. i set up to rest a cupler at 3 am and it works fine.
great thanks to all of you,

now one more thing. if i want to remove the line
00 02 * * * /usr2/oneshot/mtcl/tool rstcpl 0 3
or disable the auto reboot what should i do..

thanks again

regards
morio
