Description:
Is there a way to configure the system so that the pc and web servers restart routinely?

Resolution:
Yes - please see the example crontab entry below:

#Re-start pc_server every morning at 3:30am Central
30 3 * * 1-5 /exlibris/dtl/d3_1/dtl/proc/pc_server 6881 &

#Re-start web_server every morning at 3:31am Central
31 3 * * 1-5 /exlibris/dtl/d3_1/dtl/proc/www_server 4881 8881 2 &

You may have to test first whether the cron dtl user will be able to interpret the relevant environment variables ($WWW_HOST, $PC_SERVER_PORT, $HTTPD_PORT).

If it doesn't work, try using the actual $WWW_HOST value (you can type echo $WWW_HOST to get that value) same goes for the other env variables (e.g.):

us-digitool-dev.exlibris-usa.com-d3(1) >>echo $WWW_HOST
us-digitool-dev.exlibris-usa.com

us-digitool-dev.exlibris-usa.com-d3(1) >>echo $PC_SERVER_PORT
6881

us-digitool-dev.exlibris-usa.com-d3(1) >>echo $HTTPD_PORT
8881
