You know the famous quote on assumption right?The underlying Linux distribution for the PI is Debian Linux, so the following high level instructions will work: I am assuming you have a basic level knowledge of Linux administration. Otherwise, I can give complete script if required.
The linux crontab facility allows you to run a bash script at a specific time and date, repeatedly.
1. Create a bash script containing the sudo shutdown -r now command.
2. Make the script executable using chmod +x <script_name>.sh.
3. Schedule the script to run nightly using crontab -e and adding a line like 0 3 * * * /path/to/<script_name>.sh
P.S: Having to reboot a system every 24 hours to keep an application running is not a desirable situation, having said that, I have had to reboot systems every 4 weeks because of application memory leaks.
So the answer is "Absolute no clue at all", and i'd love a complete script. Mainly because i can work my way into understanding the "language" that way, just as something feels familiar in your description above (Because i fought my way through understanding how to setup the Pi (easy) and buy the extension that allowed an M2 drive, and setup that too)
As for the "none desirable situation"...read my answer in other post
Thanks for your help mate
