/system reboot

Many times, it is desirable to reboot a device later, at a scheduled time, to keep from inconveniencing users.

We like to leave a 'Reboot' schedule in place on the device. Then we can just change the date and/or time the next time we need to schedule a reboot.

Here is a one-time scheduled reboot at 6:30pm:

/system scheduler add comment="Reboot the Mikrotik Router" name=Reboot \
  on-event="/system reboot" policy=ftp,reboot,read,write,policy,test,password,sniff,sensitive \
  start-date=nov/21/2016 start-time=18:30:00

Periodic reboots should not be necessary. If you feel a periodic reboot is necessary, you have a problem.

Here is an example of a daily reboot at 12:10am:

/system scheduler add comment="Reboot the Mikrotik Router Daily" name=Reboot24 interval=24h \
  on-event="/system reboot" policy=ftp,reboot,read,write,policy,test,password,sniff,sensitive \
  start-date=jan/01/1970 start-time=00:00:10
