Configure Trigger
Configure when the scheduled reboot should run. Select Weekly, and then choose the day of the week.
We recommend selecting Saturday to ensure that your VPS is rebooted while the market is closed. You may also set a specific time by adjusting the “time” in the “start” field.
6
Create New Action
Click the Actions tab and click “New”.
7
Configure Action
Ensure that “Action” is set to “Start a program”.
In the Program/script box, enter: Shutdown
In the Add arguments box, enter: /r
Click OK to save. Your automatic scheduled reboot is now configured. The VPS will reboot each Saturday at the designated time entered in Step 5.
