OK. You should be using crontab -e while logged in as a user with the necessary privileges when setting up the job. Try 'shutdown -r now' instead of reboot.

 

I try "15 15 * * * shutdown -r now" and nothing happen . so I try to use "20 15 * * * /sbin/shutdown -r now" this is work. (I also try "2215 * * * /usr/bin/full_box_reboot" but this doesn't work so I think it's problem of shell type or else , have any suggestion?)

 

Thank you for suggestion.
