Shot in the dark?

I know this is a Gsuite forum but figured with a group of fellow IT people maybe someone here would know some Linux info. Anyway we have a Linux Print server (ubuntu). Thats all that is on that VM. It mostly works but every few days it just stops working. The error in the log is "failed to start cups scheduler" It just starts doing that. A reboot seems to fix it. Is there any good way of finding the cause or hell even setup some sort of task to auto restart it or even auto reboot the server if it fails.

You can definitely set up a cron job to restart the cups service.

Seems to be a straight forward command.

service cups restart

Set it up to run during the night in the cron of the root account, or whichever account runs cups.
