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.

Yes, automatic login is a supported feature of Windows 7.

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.

I said that yesterday. ;-)
