I'm all for *manual* daily restart of servers like this, but I would only do automatic restart if the server has all its configuration and storage read-only, and hardly even then. Too many things can go wrong unexpectedly at startup, not necessarily from malicious sources. If something happens, you better be there to fix it if you care at all about the service. However, if you can do a smaller selective configuration reload, that may carry less risk.
