Why isn't it a one-liner? Something like

if(patch-day-random-check)
GMCommand(initiate-reboot, 5 minutes)

or something like that? Or does the server not have some kind of watchdog?
Well, for one.. a server reboot doesn't clear respawn timers. We do that manually after a patch. Assuming that is part of the function, there are still other considerations.

Do you reset the whole server? Is there a need? Wouldn't it be just as beneficial to not disconnect everyone.. yet have the npcs repop?

If this is in addition to the normal respawns per week, a simple repop wouldn't achieve the same goal. Many 3 or 7 day npcs would still only pop once that week.

On a per-npc basis, how about the mechanical specifics? Nagafen dies.. that's a Ragefire spawn? Interfering with existing? .. etc.

Not a one-liner to achieve desired results.
You just got schooled by Nilbog, son.
