Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/debloper/xiosk/issues/48

I used to use chilipie kiosk, that rebooted the pi every day at 3am to prevent memory leaks and other issues from eventually causing problems. An option to automatically reboot the pi regularly would be helpful

Cron job. Just make a cron job to reboot until we have the ability to schedule tasks from the interface.

Agreed... until the root cause of the 8hr crash is detected, it's better to just reboot it.

Oohhh That's why I am finding the pi at the desktop and the kiosk mode is stopped 😳.
Is it because of browser memory leaks?
I use the kiosk to pull up grafana local dashboards.

Would a cronjob like this be safe to use on my pi to reboots every 8 hours?
0 */8 * * * /sbin/shutdown -r now

well that explains why I come into a desktop rather than piosk running!

@tismofied should be alright to reboot, but the path is /usr/sbin/shutdown and if you just use reboot then you'll not need the -r now args.

BTW, if any of you come to understand what's the root cause of this crash, please post it. Thanks!

@debloper
Could we add a scheduled reboot option to the dashboard in v5?

@parthsidpara sounds good... there's also HDMI CEC implementation/support request (#19, #28) that'll be good to have in that advanced section as well.
