Schedule Auto Reboot Fortigate
DescriptionAll of the FortiOS firmware so far allow the user to program a daily restart (reboot) of the FortiGate, at a pre-defined hour. This is a repeated reboot and it can be used for a one-time reboot at a predefined hour (with the mention that it needs to be removed afterwards).The alternate options become available gradually in form of an auto-script that can further fine-tune the reboot cycle, or add additional commands (starting with FortiOS 5.6). More recently (starting with FortiOS 6.2), a more advanced way via Automation Stitch (FortiOS 6.0 has Automation Stitch, but can only be triggered by an event, and not Scheduled).
Scope
SolutionDaily restart.This option is configurable from the CLI as shown in the example below:
# config system global
set daily-restart enable
set restart-time 05:06
end
– Once the restart time is reached, the following message is displayed on the CLI console:
FGT # The system will reboot due to scheduled daily restart. Current time is 05:06
– Syslog message relative to this event:

– And the following entry will be logged under the GUI event logs:
2021-10-21 05:06:51 information admin 41990 Fortigate started
