Cron Job to start SunOne WebServer

Question

Hello,
I installed the SunOne Webserver in Linux AS 4 as OS level. I try to create a cron job to stop and start the WebSever every night. The stop is quite simple to create a cron job. However, the start script is a bit tricky since I will have to key in the Token (password) as I manual start the script. How do I create a cron job to start the Web Server like this?
I used the Web server to do datatel's webadvisor. I just don't know how to configure the SunOne Web Server 6.1 (SP5) to the best interface with webadvisor. Does any one have this kind of experience please share with me?
Your thought would be greatly appreciated!!!!

My guess is that you have memory leaks that benefit from a bounce to set the clock back to zero on a daily basis.
My advice would be to fix the leaks and don't bounce the server that way.
If the leaks originate with the app server, get one that doesn't leak.
Does any one have this kind of experience please share with me?Sounds like a very bad idea. I'd fix the root problem first.
