A soft reboot is typing the reboot command (or the appropiate shutdown command). A hard reboot is powering down the machine and then powering it up again.

Hi Pal,
i feel that a cron entry will not work coz cron entry repeatatively does a task. But, tar and untar need not be run so go on tryin to write a script.

if you wanna repeatatively tar and untar at regular inetrvals then go for firing a cron job.

bye.
