Default Safe Way To Reboot Unattended Laptop?

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...)


I think you'd be fairly safe by scheduling "shutdown /r" to run once
or twice a day.
Check it out at a Command Prompt by typing "shutdown /?" to see all of
the options.
