Hello,

To "reload" HTTP every hour on Linux:

1) Type crontab -e and press ENTER.

2) In the window, press I to enter input mode, and type:
@hourly /sbin/service httpd reload

3) Then to save, press ESC to exit input mode, type :wq, and then press ENTER.

Hopefully that helps.

Phil

Hello Sir ,

Thanks for so prompt reply , i have done as you have said

[root@ns1 ~]# crontab -e
no crontab for root - using an empty one
crontab: installing new crontab

[root@ns1 ~]# crontab -l
@hourly /sbin/service httpd reload

I hope its fine now , and it reboots every hour .

Please let me know where can i see httpd logs , where it mentions that its rebooting every hour .. i mean apache logs

thnx for help
