Periotic Reboot
| Posted by raffo, 06-01-2009, 05:52 PM |
| Hello,
how to configure a periodic reboot, for example, each 4h the server will be reboot automatic.
i think i do configure a cron, but i can't find anything for periodic rebooting on freebsd.
this is a temporary solution for a issue of php.
thanks.

| Hello raffo,
Try the following cron job
I am sure this would be better than writing a PHP script.

| Why reboot the entire server if the issue is PHP specific? Can't you resolve the issue by restarting particular services?

| Yea, if it is PHP-related, simply restart Apache instead.

| Right. Rebooting the entire server is not a great idea. Restarting the services should do the trick.

| Or even better... what is the problem you are having with PHP?
Maybe that can be fixed.

| The root cause need to addressed instead of simply rebooting which is just a temporary fix. Maybe, there are sites with high traffic on your server which does not have enough resource to handle it and there can be many other umpteen reasons.

| PHP doesn't run as a service. It's either via CGI or through Apache. If you are running cPanel, you can call /scripts/restartsrv_apache in the cron and it will work.
Otherwise, please try the following command:
/usr/local/sbin/apachectl graceful

Lawrence

| PHP runs in it's own process space when used in FastCGI mode. Perhaps the OP is doing this either via Apache or another httpd like lighttpd.
roffo - what web server - httpd - are you running?
If lighttpd, on FreeBSD you can stop and restart lighttpd (and thus all the php-cgi processes):
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/lighttpd restart
If Apache:
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/apache22 restart
Put whichever command is relevant to your situation in root's crontab and you are done.
