Scheduling ReadyNAS Reboots

Hello, how can I schedule a daily reboot of my ReadyNAS?  Thank you.

Re: Scheduling ReadyNAS Reboots

Why would you want to do that?  Linux is not like Windows where it needs a fresh boot to clear out the crap.  Your NAS is designed to be run continuously, if you so desire.  Let it do that.

 

There is no provision for a re-boot, just a power off/on.  You could create your own process to do it, but there is no guarantee that it won't interrupt an important task, making things worse instead of better.  The auto power-off does have provisions to insure it does not occur during processes over which it has control.  For example, it will wait till a backup job initiated by the NAS completes.  But if you have a backup job initiated by a PC, the NAS will not know to wait for its completion.

As @Sandshark says, there is no need.

 

But to answer your question: you can't do exactly what you want from the NAS admin UI.  But you can create a power schedule, where you turn off the NAS for an hour and then restart it.
