I'm not sure what the reasoning is for issuing the reboot. However, you'll want to look at using cron to schedule the reboot command:

I know Cron can do but I don't know reboot command.

The reboot command is actually very literal. It's: reboot

This isn't Windows you know.

If you need to reboot your server every day, you're doing something VERY wrong.

Even with Windows if you need to reboot on such a regular basis you're still doing something very, very wrong.

The one time I had to do that (weekly reboot scheduled) it was due to a POS vendor app that had a massive memory leak.

Couldn't that be solved by restarting the process instead of the entire machine?
