You can check the schedule in the directory /etc/cron.d/

I did arrange them in today's number (4 - Thursday) then arrange it to auto restart in a few minutes
If I finish editing the cron file in example 15:11, I'll arrange it to auto restart in 15:15. But it won't work, it only works and nation war and saint channels

Submit the contents of your cron files here. Did you create a new war-channel cron file or did you use an existing one?

great article. i really used it

I used an existing one

The Contents:

I would remake them like this (to avoid ambiguity and possible surprises)

45 19 * * 6 root /home/cabal/start_saint.sh
0 21 * * 6 root /home/cabal/stop_saint.sh
45 19 * * 5 root /home/cabal/start_arcane.sh
0 21 * * 5 root /home/cabal/stop_arcane.sh
30 16 * * * root /home/cabal/start_treasure.sh
0 18 * * * root /home/cabal/stop_treasure.sh

But that’s not the problem. I can assume that you do not have run permissions set for your scripts. Try the commands:

chmod 0700 /home/cabal/start_arcane.sh
chmod 0700 /home/cabal/stop_arcane.sh
chmod 0700 /home/cabal/start_treasure.sh
chmod 0700 /home/cabal/stop_treasure.sh

Also check what is being logged when running your scripts:
/var/log/cron
/var/log/messages

I would try this, thank you very much for this!



#Request to close this thread. My question was answered thank you so much! it now fully works

this part, when you don't put a number in the last asterisk, it will auto restart every minute.

But that’s not the problem. I can assume that you do not have run permissions set for your scripts. Try the commands:

chmod 0700 /home/cabal/start_arcane.sh
chmod 0700 /home/cabal/stop_arcane.sh

chmod 0700 /home/cabal/stop_treasure.sh

/var/log/cron
/var/log/messages

thank you for this. this is where I saw what was really happening.

this part, when you don't put a number in the last asterisk, it will auto restart every minute.

The minute start occurs because your minutes are set with an asterisk. I replaced it with zero, now the script will run at 21:00 and 18:00, respectively. */1 as a day of the week means it starts every 1 day. You will get the same effect by using just an asterisk and this will be more correct.

I see, thanks for the help, really appreciated it. . All good now
