This is a expect script for rebooting the fortigate at scheduled time using the unix  "at" or "cron" schedulers.

The script can use set variables for  the address or user/password if you so desire.

# Set variables
 set host [lindex $argv 0]
 set user myusername
 set passw mypassword
#

spawn ssh -p 22 -o ConnectionAttempts=5 -o ConnectTimeout=60 -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no $user\@$host
#
