login as root and open/create your crontab with crontabe -e

and insert:

# .---------------- minute (0 - 59)
# |  .------------- hour (0 - 23)
# |  |  .---------- day of month (1 - 31)
# |  |  |  .------- month (1 - 12) OR jan,feb,mar,apr ...
# |  |  |  |  .---- day of week (0 - 6) (Sunday=0 or 7) OR sun,mon,tue,wed,thu,fri,sat
# |  |  |  |  |
# *  *  *  *  * command to be executed
* 3 * * * /sbin/shutdown -r now

then save the file (if you selected nano as editor then with Ctrl+O, Enter and Ctrl+X)

-r ist for reboot

And if I want to poweroff. Would it be the same but just using poweroff command?

I am using Armbian Stretch on OrangePI PC2.

I will program the OrangePi to poweroff before the smartplug to which is plugged in switch the power off too.

Then I expect to reboot remotely by turning the smartplug on.

 

Thanks.
