#AskFedi: is there a script / way to automate the restart of dnsmasq every 24 hours… on a VPS that runs on Debian 12?

(Funny how this would have sounded like a foreign language to me a mere year ago) 😆

Update: THANK YOU for the cronjob recommendation. Now looking for a tutorial that’s easy to follow for a newbie like me 😅

I really appreciate all the advice, YOU’RE THE BEST 🏆

You were already pointed to cronjobs, what also was my first idea.

And you also might already be aware about this #Wikipedia article:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cron

But as you mentioned a VPS... do you use a graphical interface to manage this? If so, does this offer also a GUI for creating and maintaining cronjobs?

@nick I did it in CLI (I prefer CLI to a GUI). I see it's there (the cron job I just created). The real test will be tonight at 9pm 😅
