If I had a business machine, I would try and have a cron job reboot
the sucker on sunday night, at a random time between 3 and 3:30 AM
when the load averages have been under .0? (whatever, depends on the
CPU, etc etc) for at least 15 minutes. Why random? So the machine
cannot be depended to reboot at an EXACT given time, in case an
exploit or some denial is possible with that knowledge
