Rebooter

Reboot device on schedule or variety of conditions
Regularly restarting device can solve some android system or app issues.
This app mainly intended to help protect against few specific threats,
because rebooting puts device into BFU (before first unlock) mode.
Advanced users would be able to run any executable/script instead of reboot.

Features
* Reboot when screen was not unlocked for set period of time.
* Reboot over fixed period or at scheduled time and days of week.
* Reboot when host USB connection detected.
* Customisable command line to fit different setups.
* Customisable sound and speach warnings upon reboot.

Permissions
* root (mandatory)
* set alarms & reminders (optional)
* run in background (optional)
* notifications (optional)

For app to function just enable background service.
Changing any settings stops service, start it again manually.
Service checks schedule only occasionally (1 hour by default),
so it should not consume any noticeable resources.
For exact timing please grant "set alarms & reminders" permission.

This app does not access network in any capacity.
This app does not collect, send or recieve any data.
This app able to use root permissions only executing user-defined command.
All default commands are variations "/system/bin/su -c reboot" type.
