Telus ZTE SmartHub Reboot Script

This script allows the Telus smart hub to be rebooted programmatically allowing for periodic restarting of the device. For maximum use of the smart hub I have found that it needs to be restarted approx once a week to maintain peak performance. I am unsure as to why this is the case. Perhaps the device doesn't implement a garbage collector system correctly and so the ram fills up or it simply slows down form some sort of logs it is keeping or something to that effect.

At any rate a periodic restart seems to fix these issues.

One line install
