Another option is the brute force approach which is to buy a
programmable timer that power cycles the router. Timex makes a 7-day
programmable digital timer which could, for example, be set to turn the
outlet off every Sunday a 3:00am and back on at 3:01am or whatever
settings you want. This timer is less than $15 and has a built in clock
and backup battery. I got mine at Target.
Of course it won't do it in response to an actual problem so it isn't
as smart as some of the other suggestions but it is pretty cheap.
What you describe for the HTML in Rev should be completely doable as
long as the router is alive enough to actually work and accept the
reset command. Since the router is already compromised it may not
reliably work.

Hi all.
I have, at my workplace, an OS X machine that collects various bits
of data from various places on the web at preset times (I have rev
apps that are started as cron jobs that do the work). From time to
time, the router drops the internet connection and generally seems to
get it's little knickers in a twist. Resetting the router sorts it
out, and I've created an ugly Rev/Applescript/QuicKeys combo that will
reset the router if I'm not physically present, and, of course, it
only seems to happen when I'm not there....
I was away for a month just recently, and it all went wrong after
about two weeks, so until I got back to reset things, the data was not
collected. I can't help feeling that a simpler, probably Rev only
solution would be more reliable, but I can't figure out how to get Rev
to login to the router and press the right HTML buttons to do it.
Has anyone here had similar experiences and found a solution?
This is a Belkin adsl modem/router box, that has the usual HTML based
control interface.
Thanks for any help,
Mark Smith
