Reset Arduino. software-hardware

Projects General Guidance

In some of my projects, I want to reset the arduino ever day, or ever month. Is there any problem in using this function?

void resetArduinoPin2() { // reset pin connected to D2 pin
	pinMode(2, OUTPUT);
	digitalWrite(2,LOW);
}

I have been testing it for a couple days, and it seems to have no problems. What do you think?

Is there a better way?

No problem if it works but you waste one I/O pin. You could use also SW reset to do same job.
Look: http://www.atmel.com/webdoc/AVRLibcReferenceManual/FAQ_1faq_softreset.html.

Use the watchdog - no pins required.
