Hi all,
This is crazy but I can't see the answer. In my system crontab I've
added a job to stop the music system at 10:59 on the 11th November,
and restart it at 11:02 on the 11th November
# m h dom mon dow user command
59 10 * 11 * root /bin/squeezy -all -off
>>/var/log/newplaylist 2>&1
02 11 * 11 * root /root/bin/newplaylist
>/var/log/newplaylist 2>&1
However, it's doing this every day. Can anyone see what's wrong?
Instead of crontabs, maybe check systemd timers.
https://fedoramagazine.org/systemd-timers-for-scheduling-tasks/ (CentOS
- at least upto 7 - doesnt support user units, admin-managed system
units are in /etc/systemd/system).
I personally prefer systemd timers over crontabs.
