Hi,
I already got a daily schedule to turn on the display. How do I add a reboot command for the weekend?
Right now:
Code: Select all
scheduled_action=Monday-05:30 Tuesday-05:30 Wednesday-05:30 Thursday-05:30 Friday-05:30 action:xdotool key F5; xset dpms force on
This?:
Code: Select all
scheduled_action=Monday-05:30 Tuesday-05:30 Wednesday-05:30 Thursday-05:30 Friday-05:30 action:xdotool key F5; xset dpms force on; Sunday-19:00 action:reboot
BR,
Michael

Michael,
You need to use cron.
See the FAQ on kiosk webpage.
Thanks

Is this the correct command to restart the machine sundays at 6 o'clock pm?
Code: Select all
run_command=echo '00 18 * * SUN root su - -c reboot' >> /etc/crontab

This here didn't work:
Code: Select all
run_command=echo '00 23 * * TUE root su - -c reboot' >> /etc/crontab
Tablet is running for 15 days now.

You can verify if cron works properly with this parameter:
Code: Select all
run_command=echo '* * * * * root su - -c date >> /opt/date.log' >> /etc/crontab
Current time should be logged to /opt/date.log every minute.
If that works and the 'reboot' command still does not then maybe your tablet suffers for kernel related problems (maybe if freezes or something).
Thanks

You may redirect the error of the reboot command to a log:
Code: Select all
run_command=echo '* * * * * root su - -c reboot >> /opt/date.log' >> /etc/crontab
Please check if the error is logged to /opt/date.log (command should be executed every minute).
