hi guys
messng with a ubuntu server with oscam only, got it all working with a check script which works manually but when i enter it as a cron job it doesn't run
i did crontab -e logged in as root, entered the below line and saved and exit, when i do crontab -l it shows the line fine
set it for 2 mins for testing and it doesn't seem to run

1) clear all in: crontab -e
2) put the same line in /etc/crontab
(edit with nano /etc/crontab)

P.S. path= /etc/crontab

This is written for Debian/Ubuntu.. And will not (per se) work on other systems.
On raspberry and most system you can do: crontab -e, and insert the line there.
Did you test the script by manually running it ?

in putty session type
sudo crontab -e
then in the editor, add your task - make sure you are scrolling down to a new line after all the instructional text so there are no hashes before your line, then add your task
save the task by ctrl alt and x - and answer yes to save.

I followed the instructions:
- sudo crontab -e
- add last line 30 22 * * * root reboot
- ctrl and x
- save /tmp/crontab.gdyo5z/crontab
- yes
but doesn't work
are you rebooting after editing? have can you see cron as a task on startup? Have you checked the crontab file to ensure that the edit has saved?

yes, I did all

All crontab files are stored in the /var/spool/cron/crontabs/ directory. However, since regular users do not have read or write permission to this directory, they must use the crontab command to schedule jobs.

Revisiting this - I had to the /etc/crontab on the raspberry pi - as root - I did this in an editor (not notepad of course!) - and accessed the file from winscp - ofcourse you can use nano to do this.
You don' t want sudo in your crontabs as it will ask for a password and fail because there will be no keyboard to attach to the process.
this is the correct statement:
Quotesudo crontab -e
30 18 * * * /sbin/shutdown -r now
