Using kron to schedule a reload...keeps terminating itself

I'm trying to use the 'kron' utility to schedule router reboots, but since the command 'reload' requires user interaction, it keeps failing. Any ideas?

I have a couple of ideas but it depends on what you're really trying to accomplish. Why do you need to reload these devices regularly? Is this a mass reload after a software upgrade?
 
No reason really, I was simply messing around with it, trying to get the hang of using it.

I ended up just doing a 'reload at' instead.

That was going to be my suggestion. There are also ways to do this using SNMP.
