Hi jd68 I'm new with piCore and I found a lot of possibilities but Cron gives a problem. In this post I learned a lot. I know now that I can't restart the pi with a Cron job after a shutdown assignment. What I want: My NAS stops at 00.30 and restarts at 07.45. So I want the same for the 4

In piCore/piCorePlayer cron is not started by default. Using the pCP [Tweaks] page, when you click the [Save] button it will add the appropriate cron bootcode to enable cron. You could use the "bootcode" page if you are familiar with that. The "Cron" option on the [Tweaks] page only offers 3 of

Maybe you can explain why you want to shutdown the OS? Please note that the power consumption of the RaspberryPi would probably be the same with and without running OS. To start the OS (after shutdown), you will need to interrupt/disconnect the power supply of the RaspPi. You can add cron

The cron settings are near the bottom of the tweaks page. Once you set that up, cron will be started automatically. But Cron has nothing to do with manual functions. When do you want to shutdown your system? piCorePlayer a small player for the Raspberry Pi in RAM. Homepage:

Hi I understand that it is possible with Cron to stop or shutdown or reboot the PI at a time I want. I looked in piCore and found Cron. But I am not a Linux user so I don't know what to do. - I don't see how to start Cron in piCore - I read that the best is to do it manually with HSS.
