I have made a .cron file in the dynamix folder

dockerrestart.cron

here's the script also

my crontab

it starts at 4pm and keeps going until 5pm. what have I done wrong?

 

 

Keeps going until 5

Because * 17 * * * means that the script will run every minute (5p - 5:59p) 

You want 0 17 * * * to only run at 5p

Maybe you added one a different way just reboot

It's still not fixed! What can I try next?

What is the output of

crontab -l

and

cat /etc/cron.d/root

I think i will be able to fix it i will remove them and update cron. i will update you tomorrow

I just remove the 2 lines before # generated system monitoring schedule it save fine but when i update cron they come back

Snip

Still not fixed

Then you've added multiple .cron files (maybe in other directories) that are still the old version

🤦‍♂️i made other cron file name docker rather than dockerrestart

I updated cron and they are gone. hopefully, its fixed now.

thank you very much for your patience. 

 

Yea it's completely fixed
