How to use custom cron schedule

[bwv1058]

Hello everybody,

I am trying to set up two scheduled scripts that start and stop my Windows VM but I am having a hard time figuring out how to use cron.

Following some instructions online I edited the "custom" field on the right as follows: 30 19 * * * * with the second script scheduled one hour later.

Long story short, it does not work. If I click on "run in the background" it fires the script immediately and the VM either starts or shuts down. If I do not click anything, nothing ever happens.

Thank you in advance and sorry if I am missing something obvious

I assume from the context you may be using the User Scripts plugin?   If so there should only be five values in the custom filed - not the 6 your example shows.

I moved this from "Forum Feedback", which is intended to be about the forum itself, not about Unraid.
