Is there any way to set-up a job where the ABS would restart automatically at a specific time?

I think this can be done via AppleScript, more precisely GUI Scripting, but I don't (yet) know how.

http://www.apple.com/applescript/GUI/

look at the example script to Activate/deactivate Firewall which operates on the Sharing item of System Preferences...

Why would you want to do that? DHCP server not giving an address to you?

You should try this:
ABS Restarter

Hope the following helps...

Given than you have downloaded GUI scripting (see my previous msg), rebooted, and enabled the option under System Preferences -->Universal Access-->Seeing tab -->check "Enable access for assistive devices"...

Save the script below with a name like "ABS On" and as an application/run-only.

Change "Start" to "Stop" and save with a name like "ABS Off". Save as before.

Get a scheduler, like Youpi,

Drag-drop and configure the start-stop times for these scripts in Youpi, and have fun.

on wait4window(this_title)
tell application "System Events"
tell process "System Preferences"
repeat with i from 1 to 60
if the name of window 1 is this_title then return true
delay 1
end repeat
