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

What else does 'reboot'? Power-cycling a computer by interrupting AC power is stressful in ways that simply rebooting is not.
