It is indeed a quoting issue. On Debian unstable, the following does the thing on both sysvinit and systemd systems: [3/5768]mh@drop:~ $ cat /etc/cron.d/atop PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin # daily restart of atop at midnight 0 0 * * * root [ -d "/run/systemd/system" ] || /usr/share/atop/atop.daily& 0 0 * * * root [ -d "/run/systemd/system" ] && systemctl restart atop I have committed that to git, it will be part of the next upload. Please state if this doesn't fix the issue. Greetings Marc
