Could you provide a method for be-booting a UNIX PC via a crontab entry or
some other means ? I've been told that the normal method using crontab will
not work because of the program /etc/smgr, which performs the functions
handled by crontab in other systems. Is this true ? Is there some way to
use smgr to reboot the system at night ?
