Script to automatically reboot OS X every 30 mins

Hi,
I'm trying to figure out how to make Leopard reboot every 30 mins. Any ideas?
Thanks,
James

Try: crontab -e -root. Then write the lines into:
*/30 * * * * /sbin/reboot

  • Will scripts run automatically ?

    If I shut down my Mac everynight(I live in a time zone 6 hours ahead of Eastern US time), will the scripts run automatically when I start it up the next morning...or...do I need a special utility application for this ?

    these scripts are not worth worrying about. you should just leave them alone. the OS does a very good job of running them all by itself. and they are all quite useless anyway. many people (apparently yourself included) seem to think that these periodic scripts are important maintenance tools and will make your system run better and faster. nothing can be further from the truth.
    *monthly scripts* :
    1. archive and recycle fax logs. have you used your mac as a fax machine lately?
    2. write accounting information (total uptime of every account) in the monthly.out log.
    That's IT. so unless you use your mac as a fax machine (do you, really?) you don't need to run monthly scripts. EVER.
    *weekly scripts*:
    in snow leopard they do one thing ONLY: rebuild whois database. it's only useful if you are a unix user and actually use the whois terminal command at least on occasion. I'll bet my bottom dollar you never have and never will. then you don't need to run the weekly scripts either. EVER.
    *daily scripts*
    they do several things
    1. clean up the logs from /Library/Logs/CrashReporter which are more than 60 days old. hardly an urgent task. and those logs are really very few unless your system is seriously messed up. you can go a year without deleting any and will collect a few MBs at the most.
    2. delete junk from /tmp directory that's more than 3 days old.
    This is done automatically on every reboot without any periodic scripts. if you don't reboot the computer then daily scripts will run *no matter* the schedule. if you don't sleep the computer at night they'll run at night. if you do sleep the computer at night they will run first thing in the morning when the computer is turned on. again, zero need to reschedule anything.
    3. deletes files older than 7 days from /var/rwho. this is only relevant if you are running a unix network. otherwise there is nothing to delete - EVER.
    4. rotate accounting files. again, those are nonexistent unless you are a unix administrator.
    5. run the terminal command *df -l -h* and print out the output to daily.out. all this command does is list currently mounted hard drives. useless.
    6.print the current network status in daily.out. this is again just reporting not maintenance.
    7. Delete system messages. Once again this is relevant only for multi-user Unix systems.
    8. remove scratch fax files. see my comment above about using your mac as a fax machine.
    9. it writes some other accounting and system status info to daily.out. this is again only reporting and is ONLY actually present on unix networks.
    and that's all, folks.

  • WSUS script for pending reboot possible addition - How

    Hi, I am found script for pending reboot and script work perfectly. My problem is that script generate only pending computers reboot for master wsus server not for replica servers. Can I modify this script to generate pending reboot for all replica servers on
    one place(wsus master server) or I must run this script on every replica server. This is script:
    [reflection.assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("Microsoft.UpdateServices.Administration") | out-null
    if (!$wsus) {
    $wsus = [Microsoft.UpdateServices.Administration.AdminProxy]::GetUpdateServer();
    $computerScope = new-object Microsoft.UpdateServices.Administration.ComputerTargetScope;
    $computerScope.IncludedInstallationStates = [Microsoft.UpdateServices.Administration.UpdateInstallationStates]::InstalledPendingReboot;
    $updateScope = new-object Microsoft.UpdateServices.Administration.UpdateScope;
    $updateScope.IncludedInstallationStates = [Microsoft.UpdateServices.Administration.UpdateInstallationStates]::InstalledPendingReboot;
    $computers = $wsus.GetComputerTargets($computerScope);
    $report = @()
    $computers | foreach-object {
    $computer = $_.FullDomainName
    $updatesForReboot = $_.GetUpdateInstallationInfoPerUpdate($updateScope)
    $updatesForReboot | foreach-object {
    $temp = "" | Select Computer,Update
    $temp.Computer = $computer
    $temp.Update = ($wsus.GetUpdate($_.UpdateId)).Title
    $report += $temp
    $report | Select "Computer","Update" | Export-Csv -Path c:\..PendingReboot.csv -Delimiter 1 -NoTypeInformation

    Modified script
    work great. I have report from all replica server and master server after new updates
    from today. I am add mail option and finaly this is what I am modify:
    [reflection.assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("Microsoft.UpdateServices.Administration") | out-null
    if (!$wsus) {
    $wsus = [Microsoft.UpdateServices.Administration.AdminProxy]::GetUpdateServer();
    $computerScope = new-object Microsoft.UpdateServices.Administration.computerTargetScope;
    $computerScope.IncludeDownstreamComputerTargets = $true
    $computerScope.IncludedInstallationStates = [Microsoft.UpdateServices.Administration.UpdateInstallationStates]::InstalledPendingReboot;
    $updateScope = new-object Microsoft.UpdateServices.Administration.UpdateScope;
    $updateScope.IncludedInstallationStates = [Microsoft.UpdateServices.Administration.UpdateInstallationStates]::InstalledPendingReboot;
    $computers = $wsus.GetComputerTargets($computerScope);
    $report = @()
    $computers | foreach-object {
    $computer = $_.FullDomainName
    $updatesForReboot = $_.GetUpdateInstallationInfoPerUpdate($updateScope)
    $updatesForReboot | foreach-object {

  • Automatic reboot of my MBP

    Hello, I have the following problem when I want to do the following:
    I have to log measurements with a logger from pico (www.picotech.co.uk). This is a windows-software. Therefor I'm using parallels desktop 5. The measurement should take about three weeks. In this time the MBP way not turn off or go into sleep, because the pico-software must take every 5 seconds a sample of the voltage and write it to disk.
    What's the problem:
    After a certain time (always a little less than three hours) without keyboard or keypad access, the MBP reboots. When I touch the touchpad every two hours, the MBP does not reboot. So I can get through the day (when I'm in my testlab), but during the night the MMBP reboots.
    What have I done to avoid this (without success):
    - standard in Parallel's the windows energy settings are to never shut-down or hibernate
    - in the Mac osX Lion software, I set the energy settings to never sleep.
    - I downloaded and activated the program "Caffeine" to simulate activity to prevent MBP going asleep.
    But nothing helps (till now).
    I hope you guys can help me out...
    Here I post the part of the system log when the reboot takes place. Can somebody confirm (or deny) that Parallels Desktop 5 could be the cause?

    I have found the cause of the automatic rebooting of my MacBook Pro. In fact it was not an automatic rebooting, but an automatic logging-out of the system.
    In the security and privacy settings (beveiliging en privacy in Dutch), there is an option to automatic logout after a certain time of inactivity (log uit na een periode van xxx minuten).
    This was selected and was put on 160mins. I don't know how this was set this way: did I do it one time myself or was it by default this way.
    Because I get the same login-screen after display sleep, PC-sleep, and logging-out, I couldn't see a difference.

  • Why does my iPod Nano (7g) automatically reboot while I'm using Nike fitness?

    Yesterday I was running with my iPod 7g, I was using Nike finess and it automatically rebooted. Today same problem... Why?
    It's possible I accidentally push Power off, but it's been two days! :/
    Please Help me

    Is it one app, or every app?  If one or two apps, try deleting them from iPad and then reinstalling them.  Have you tried a complete restore to factory settings?  Might be time consuming but you should try all options.  If all else fails, head to the Apple store and let them see it.
    Good luck.

  • Automatic Reboot if no activity for 30-40 min.

    Hello,
    i have a problem with my PB. Ever since I have upgraded to 10.4 my computer automatically reboots if there is no activity (means if i don't type or surf on the web). Even iTunes continuously playing music is not stopping the computer to reboot.
    I have already reset the PRAM/PMU, but it has not changed anything. Also checking permissions etc did not help. The only program holding the Mac back from reboot is the VLC player if I put it in repeat mode.
    Does anyone has a suggestion what I can do? Should I reinstall 10.4 and then apply all patches until it is back on 10.4.4? Or ist there anything else I could do? If I need to reinstall the OS 10.4 what files should I back up to keep my iTunes, iPhoto, mails, etc. Just my "home" folder?
    Thank you.
    Regards,

    How did you reset the PMU? Are you aware that there is a internal battery?
    Remove all power from the unit ( battery and DC power ) for 10 mins ( http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=30017 ) and see if the issue continues. Also check what cron scripts are running, maybe running cocktail available on version tracker may resolves the issue. Good Luck

  • RV042 automatic reboot?

    Hi,
    I have an Linksys RV042 Router (firmware 1.3.12.19-tm). The problem is, that our ISP has an forced disconnect every 24hours. Now it´s the question if it´s possible to scedule an automatic reboot in the RV042 setup? I don´t think so but maybe someone has a solution for me?
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    No, it's not possible to schedule a power cycle with in the Web GUI of this unit. I have heard of customers going to lowes or home depot and getting a Timer that goes on the outlet and will cut off power and turn power back on. Which will cause a reboot. just  a suggestion since you need a power cycle every 24 hours.
    Thanks,

    1)check this website http://fsinapsi.altervista.org/code/tre … 091228.zip for new version of the archive.
    2)change the pkgver if a new version is found
    3)download the archive
    Maybe it's something like this (taken from the chromium pkgbuild),but i don't know how i can modify it .. thank you.

    Yes i know,but this archive is updated frequently and generally there aren't major changes in the new versions,so a pkgbuild with a similar script may work well for some time...
    So would an external script which automatically updates the PKGBUILD on your machine and then uploads it to the AUR? Simplest I can think of would involve bash, wget/curl, and a bit of sed.
    You could even run every X hours if you feel like it.

    Amitdo you realize that "shell script" is Operating System (OS) dependent?
    Since you decided not to share your OS name & version, no answer is possible now.

    Let the battery fully darain. After charging for an least an hour try a reset and restore. Use Recovery mode if necessary.
    If not successful, then time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • Using script to automatically arrange timeline and sceneline workspaces.

    This is a simple demonstration of using VB Script to adjust panels in PE3.
    In PE3, when you adjust the height of the timeline, the height of the sceneline is also adjusted the same amount, and vice versa. You could use script to automatically adjust the height of the sceneline or the timeline whenever you switch respective modes. The script below does that.
    This is for those who are familiar with script writing and the Windows Script Host. The vb script below includes properties and methods from the AutoItX library (free download).
    Option Explicit
    Dim oAutoit, strWinText, strLastTime, lngX, lngY
    Set oAutoIt = WScript.CreateObject("AutoItX3.Control")
    oAutoit.WinWaitActive "Adobe Premiere Elements -"
    strLastTime = "start"
    Do
    ' Quit the script if mousepointer put in upper left corner (0,0).
    lngX = oAutoIt.MouseGetPosX
    lngY = oAutoIt.MouseGetPosY
    if lngX = 0 and lngY = 0 then
    set oAutoIt = nothing
    Wscript.Echo "Your script has ended."
    Wscript.Quit
    end if
    ' Read the text of the window so we can determine the workspace setup.
    strWinText = oAutoIt.WinGetText("Adobe Premiere Elements -")
    ' If DVD Menu tab selected, then don't do anything, otherwise
    ' check if in Sceneline or Timeline mode.
    if instr(strWinText, "DVD Menu") = 0 then
    if instr(strWinText,"EditTimeControl") <> 0 then
    if strLastTime <> "timeline" then
    ' Reset the Edit Workspace and then adjust the timeline panel height
    oAutoit.Send "{alt}wke"
    oAutoit.Sleep 250
    oAutoit.MouseMove 1078, 646
    oAutoit.MouseDown "left"
    oAutoit.MouseMove 1078,400
    oAutoit.MouseUp "left"
    strLastTime = "timeline"
    end if
    else
    if strLastTime <> "sceneline" then
    ' Reset the Edit Workspace and then adjust the sceneline panel height.
    oAutoit.Send "{alt}wke"
    oAutoit.Sleep 250
    oAutoit.MouseMove 1078, 646
    oAutoit.MouseDown "left"
    oAutoit.MouseMove 1078,762
    oAutoit.MouseUp "left"
    strLastTime = "sceneline"
    end if
    end if
    end if
    WScript.Sleep 2000
    loop
    The script might work as-is if your screen is set for 1280 x 1024 and the Premiere Elements 3 window is maximized. Save the script in a text file with a .VBS extension, and then run it. Afterwards click on the Sceneline or Timeline buttons in PE3. It may take up to 2 seconds before the mouse starts moving on it's own. The screen coordinates were ascertained using the AutoIt Info tool.

    You shouldn't make assumptions about what the names of the volumes are - both the Finder and System Events have terminology to determine if a disk is the startup volume (or a local volume, for that matter), for example:
    tell application "System Events"
      repeat with someDisk in (get disks whose startup is false and local volume is true)
        set someDisk to POSIX path of someDisk
        do shell script "diskutil umount " & quoted form of someDisk & " &> /dev/null &"
      end repeat
    end tell
    Note that if you are unmounting a disk from a standard account you will be prompted for administrator authentication.

  • Script to automate the display language on windows server

    Hi,
    I'm looking for a script which should change the windows display language from non-english to english (vizversa).
    Here is the scenario:
    On windows server 2008 R2 I have two language installed - Japanese and English with the help of MUI packs available on microsoft site. The native language of windows server 2008 R2 is Japanese. Consider there are 10 sys admins only knows
    Japanese but not english. Similarly there are 10 sys admins knowing only English. I  being english administrator, i should each time go to regional setting in the control panel and click on change display language to english. After
    I finish my task I need to set back the language to japanese(native).
    I'm looking for script which can auotmate this process.
    Objective:
    The script should automatical change the language to Japanese when I logoff from the system. 
    Here is the steps to reach "Change Display language" on windows server 2008
    Go to control Panel > Category view (on right side top ) > System and Security > Clock ,Language and Region > Under “Regional Language” > Change display
    language > Go to Tab “Keyboards and Languages” > Look for the dropdown menu “Choose a display language” and choose the appropriate language you prefer from the dropdown list
    Kindly note this menu/option is available for Vista,Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008. This option is also available on Windows XP/Server 2000/2003 provided the LIP/MUI is installed.
    Thanks

    Guys,
    Forgive me, but I think you are making this far too complicated. Using a script to achieve this is, in my view the wrong tool, and a little dangerous. If your logoff script fails to run for any reason, 11 Japanese sysadmins will be waving Samurai swords
    at you :-).
    There is a single Group Policy setting that will do exactly what you want on Vista, W7, W2K8 & R2.
    Create a new Group Policy object ("English_interface", for example.
    Edit the new policy object
    Drill down to "User Configuration, Policies, Administrative Templates, Control Panel, Regional and Language Options"
    Pick the setting "Restricts the UI languages Windows should use for the selected user" and Enable it.
    Drop down the "Restrict users to the following language" and pick "English"
    Click "OK"
    Link your new GPO somewhere in the OU hierarchy that contains the English user
    If other (Japanese?) users are also in the same container, you can filter application of the GPO by security group so that the policy can only be read and applied by the English group.
    That's all you need to do!
    As a point of principle. I ALWAYS install my OS in US English then add languages, and set the locals to use their own language. This is because service packs and hotfixes invariably arrive for US English first, and some hot fixes are NEVER translated.
    I'm just doing this for a single W7 build in English, to be deployed in 6 countries, with 7 different languages and 9 different keyboard layouts. Fun...
    Come back if you need more help. I volunteer to visit and help if you want!

    HI,
    I am looking for a way where I put the SX50HS on a tripod and now want her to automatically make a picture every 3 minutes for an hour. Is there a way to achieve this ?  Have not found a hint in the manual. Would be great if that could work !
    thanks

    Great Guys, Thank you !  Both contributions were helpful.
    I found a hint about an automatic shutter release Phottix TR-90 that may so the job, however the longest is 59 sec. seamingly to avoid the camera lens to go still.
    Then the hint with you tube indicates a way to use CHDK to eventually still be able to do the job right the way.
    Am happy about your insirtaions. Thank you !
