You could have a cron job that executes a script containing,

init 6

A cron job is a script that is scheduled to run at a specific time. So if you had a restart script, you could set up a cron job to run it at 5am every day. Google a bit on cron jobs, and you'll see how easy it is to set up.

As for the restart script.

#!/bin/sh
init 6

That would do it, since "init 6" means "go to runlevel 6, and runlevel 6 means "reboot me". So save the previous code as a script -- e.g. restartscript.sh -- then make it executable by doing this,

chmod +x restartscript.sh
