Schedule NAS reboot
« on: February 12, 2013, 04:05:16 AM »
Hi guys,

I have a DNS 320 and I have experienced that I get very slow speeds after my NAS has been on a while. A reboot of the NAS solves this.

I know from the console you can schedule a shut down but can you force the NAS to reboot at say 0300am everyday ?

Many Thanks,

Lee

This ability to power on/off on a schedule is only available in the higher-end DNS-345. Unfortunately, the DNS-320 only has the ability to power off on a schedule. If this feature were available (which it is not), it would appear under Management > System Management  > Power Management.

There are ways to do what you want but they are not easy and require external equipment.

It might be more productive to investigate why you have the slowdown.  Our DNS-320s are on 24/7 and as far as I know no one has reported ant slowdown - I've not seen any other than the time the whole network was overloaded, but that was a totally different problem.

I won't go into the technical details but it boils down to having an external connection to the on off switch which will allow the automatic switch off and switch on after a short delay - not the sort of thing that can be constructed without electronics knowledge.

If you have funplug installed you should be able able to use cron to reboot daily. Do some searching on google for how to reboot via cron and also how the 320 uses cron for its jobs. The file you need to edit lives in /var/spool/cron/crontabs and is called root. If I remember rightly though /var gets overwritten on reboot so your entry in the root file might not stay. again you would need to look into this. there are plenty of hacks that use cron on the 320 so search around and tweak to suit your needs. It is achievable via this method with a little investigation. I've used cron to reboot in the past on other distro's so know it can be done.
