Hi, Is it possible to have my droplet/server restart daily at a certain time? Then once restarted, either have it login automatically or run a command to run an application automatically? The reason why I need to do this is because I have an application running and after some time it starts to lag, and until I restart the droplet, it will lag and lag.
The command I need my droplet to run after restarting is something like : sudo screen ./TS3MusicBot_runscript.sh -parameters -parameters -parameters
I’m not sure if I could run that command without having to SSH into my droplet.
