I use the following crontab to regularly reboot my system
30 5 * * * root root reboot
but after these scheduled reboots, some services don't automatically start. The ones I have noticed already are OpenVPN and PostgreSQL, but I expect there to be more. Firstly, I noticed this after adding the scheduled reboot but as I recently upgraded from 15.10, it could be that something went wrong during the upgrade.
I hope someone can tell me, a) what I did wrong or/and b) what may have caused this.

A) Daily server reboots are wrong. Other than that, the proper way to restart is
shutdown -r now, which properly shuts down services on the server and then reboots.B) Using
rebootto reboot the server does not shutdown services, so those might end up in unstable state and therefore refuse to start.
