/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="Scheduled Reboot" 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="Scheduled Reboot 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

Edit this for the destination e-mail address, then paste it into a terminal to create a new schedule:

/system scheduler
add name=reboot-notification comment="Send notification that the router was rebooted" on-event="delay 30\r\
      \n/log print file=logfile;\r\
      \ndelay 10\r\
      \n/tool e-mail send to=\"EnterEmailHere\" subject=\"\$[/system identity get name] - Rebooted at \$[/system clock get time] \$[/system clock get date]\" body=\"See attached log.\" file=\"logfile.txt\"\r\
      \ndelay 5\r\
      \n/file remove logfile.txt\r\
      \nlog info \"email sent and logfile deleted\"\r\
      \n/system routerboard settings set silent-boot=no" policy=ftp,reboot,read,write,policy,test,password,sniff,sensitive start-time=startup
