how to make asus router automatically reboot every day?

Well I gave it a try and it doesn't reboot every 4 hours.

This was the log:
May 6 13:53:01 crond[463]: user admin: parse error at /4

I used this command: /usr/sbin/cru a ScheduledReboot "0 /4 * * * reboot"

I guess it's a no go but then again I don't know any better.

I used this command: /usr/sbin/cru a ScheduledReboot "0 /4 * * * reboot"

The correct command is (forgot the asterisk before the /4)

/usr/sbin/cru a ScheduledReboot "0 */4 * * * reboot"

Thanks John. I'll give that a try!

Well I gave it a shot before going aways for the weekend. It worked well for a day but then I lost all traffic that went through the router via WiFi. It was very strange. In the end I had to factory reset the router and start back from scratch. I guess I may just use the daily reboot built into the firmware for now until I can do more tests.

what if I just want to reboot once a week.. let's say every Sunday at 6am?
What code would that be?

EDIT...
would this work?
#!/bin/sh
cru a ScheduledReboot "* 6 * * 0 /sbin/reboot"

Will the reboot schedule in the GUI also reboot the mesh unit?
