I reboot one of my ar300m routers, that is being used as a VPN server, daily using something similar to this: ``` 30 10 * * * sleep 70 && touch /etc/banner && sync && reboot ``` The startup time that the router starts with, changes everyday to the timestamp I set on the file /etc/banner using the touch command. The _sleep 70 && touch /etc/banner_ is to make sure the router time is set to be after the reboot time, or it is possible to get the router stuck in a reboot loop.
