I am messing with an embedded device that I would like to have a sshd server startup and shutdown on a timed schedule.
Consider it a remote maintenance window.
This ssh server will be internet facing and I want to limit exposure in additional to my planned hardening measures.
Is turning
Seems to me if no service is running it would be safer.
It will make maintenance tougher. Using NanoBSD I hope for minimal maintenance needed. Update images will be pushed.

Is turning
sshd
and off again (via cron or otherwise) a valid security help at all? I am thinking a 5 minute window daily or weekly.Seems to me if no service is running it would be safer.
