If it's a computer, you can just program it. What else does 'reboot'?
Power-cycling a computer by interrupting AC power is stressful in ways
that simply rebooting is not.

Hey all,
Has anyone used or installed a 120volt power relay that would allow
for a 23 hour 59 minute on time and a 1 minute off time that would
then repeat the cycle??
The desire would be to have a remote device do a daily reboot without
human intervention.
I know I can build one to do the job but I was wondering if someone
knows of a device that would be off the shelf available to just plug in.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Les
