Hello Rafael! I added the root there since it was there from a howto I found on a german forum. I removed it and the script works, thank you!
Seeing in the crontab file the daily, hourly, etc cron jobs, I noticed the lines "[ -x /bin/run-parts ] && run-parts --report" in front of the command. I dont understand what they mean and should I add them to my own cronjob aswell? Thank you for your help! Vassilis Rafael Fonseca schrieb: > Why did you add the 'root' part in front of the script?
