Scheduling a Reset Within a Specified Amount of Time
You can schedule a reset within a specified time with the
reset in
command. For instance, if the current
system time is 9:00 a.m. and the reset is scheduled in one hour, the scheduled reset takes place at
10:00 a.m. If you or NTP advances the system clock to 10:00 a.m., the reset takes place at 11:00 a.m. If
the clock is advanced ahead of the scheduled reset time, the reset takes place 5 minutes after the current
time.
