I think it is worth first to find out why this happens. Did you 
investigate your logfiles?

If you really want to solve this problem by running a cronjob, you might 
put it something like

30  *     *     *     *    root    /cronjobs/resQmyhttpd.run

resQmyhttpd.run:
apachectl stop
apachectl start

be aware that if there are visitors online, they might be (temporarilly) 
disconnect by this action.
