To install updates for the kernel and increasing the performance of the server, rebooting your dedicated server once during a month is required.<\/p>\n

After installing the updates, it is advisable not to reboot your server instantly. If you wish to reboot your server (ie. when the traffic is low on your website), It is always recommended to wait for low usage times.<\/p>\n

Assuming that you are having access to the command line, enter the following \u201cat\u201d command as root on your command line interface and hit the \u201cEnter\u201d button of your keyboard:<\/p>\n

Once you hit the Enter button, the command prompt will open to ask for input. Simply enter \u201creboot\u201d as shown below:<\/p>\n

at> reboot<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Lastly, in order to save the settings, press \u201cCTRL+D<\/strong>\u201d.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s it ! You server will now reboot at the time you have specified.<\/p>\n

It is better to have a server monitoring setup, just in case your\u00a0dedicated server<\/a>\u00a0fails to reboot. If you are having a remote server, it is likely that the clock timezone may differ from your local machine. To make sure about the timings, login into your server via SSH, enter \u201cdate\u201d to know the exact time.<\/p>\n

The \u201cat<\/strong>\u201d command could be used to schedule any task which you want to run once. In order to know more about the \u201cat\u201d command enter \u201cman at\u201d through your command line interface.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
