Klugey approach?

Set a WatchDog Timer reboot.

Specify an IP that won't respond to pings, set up the WatchDog timer to
ping it every 24*60*60 seconds, with a fail count of 7. (or suitable
numbers that the GUI will accept).

You could even have it ping a machine on your network somewhere that you
could take off-line when you wanted to reboot everything.

Do you know of a reasonably cheap hardware device that can monitor
something on the network, and powercycle it when needed? A watchdog that
acts on a hung device, say.

I know one or two, but they are expensive.
A timer reboot is too aggressive when a reboot is not needed.
