Here is my crontab command:

0 4 * * * /usr/sbin/asterisk -rx 'restart gracefully'

However, there have been several occasions where the system has been 
"stuck" when the employees arrive for work in the morning.  'show 
channels' indicates a "stuck" channel on the Adtran 750, and Asterisk is 
unable to complete the shutdown.  I need to upgrade this system to 
Asterisk v1.0 before I persue this problem.
