Used for a few years and I like it. - Version: 1.1.2, 11/26/2007 09:04AM PST

I've been using this for a few years on a PowerBook G4 server that I have on 24/7. It does just what it says, in my case restarts at 6.00 am and all the apps open up via Apple Preferences in the Login Items. About the cost. My time is worth more that the asking price so its worth it to me. Hope this helps

A little learning can save you $10 - Version: 1.1, 3/27/2007 08:12PM PST

How to save ten bucks

Write this simple shell script in plain text, using the text editor of your choice:

#!/bin/bash
/sbin/reboot
exit 0

Save this script and make it executable (chmod +x scriptname in the terminal). Add it to root's crontab via the terminal. Or for an even easier, GUI-based method, use Cronnix to add it to the "System Crontab" and pick the time(s) when you want it to run.

There you go. If you need this functionality, you've just saved yourself $10. Maybe I might recommend this application if it were freeware, donationware or even shareware for a buck or two. But this can be accomplished so easily with a little bit of knowledge that $10 seems outrageous.
