Laptop running an IP camera server at a remote site.
Lid is kept open.
Camera server gets flaky every so often and we have no clue why,
but a reboot fixes it.
Seems logical to schedule something that reboots the laptop once
or twice a day.
Is there a "best" way to do this? (i.e. minimum chance of having
to ask somebody at the site to turn the thing back on...)
Does it require a login? I don't believe logins can be automated.
But if it doesn't require a login, then you can set up a one-line
batch file with the SHUTDOWN command and schedule it to run at a
certain time every day.
