Using Kron for Reload

scott.hartlaub · ‎04-25-2008

I have been unable to schedule recurring reloads on my WAN routers. Any suggestions are very much appreciated:

kron occurrence RELOAD at 00:01 Fri recurring

policy-list RELOAD

kron policy-list RELOAD

cli reload

after running, the router drops cli reload command.

Keep in mind this: "EXEC commands that generate a prompt or can be terminated using keystrokes will result in an error on execution"

I do not remember if the router asks you to confirm the reload but I suspect it is.

Thanks. It does ask to confirm, and i figured that was the problem. I was hopeful there was a work around. Thanks again.

...maybe your startup config was not saved and router prompts for 'confirm' ?

No, I'm constantly typing wr mem

see also if you can use this:

might be able to create a tcl script which will not ask you for the prompt. Or use tcl instead of your kron...

Sorry, the suggestion I had won't work either, just edited this to remove my idea:(
