Tutorial: Scheduled tasks in CoreELEC

General Guides & How-tos

You need to save file as UNIX formatted. But in your case it seems it was unicode with some strange characters in. Like 0x9c and 0x9d.

Thanks. I don’t know exactly the cause, but now we have a solution.

Kind regards

Hi,

I followed the thread just to create a simple task scheduler for restarting a Docker container on every 6 hours, but the ‘‘docker’’ command has not been found in crontab.
My sh script is so simple:

#!/bin/sh

docker restart container

This is the entry in crontab:

30 */6 * * * sh /storage/.config/scripts/container-restart.sh

This is the error :

CoreELEC crond[4594]: USER root pid 5492 cmd sh /storage/.config/scripts/container-restart.sh
CoreELEC crond[4594]: /storage/.config/scripts/container-restart.sh: line 3: docker: not found

Could please help me to resolve this issue.Thanks in advance

In file container-restart.sh add this on top before your commands

source /etc/profile

or use full path to the binaries.

Wooool

What a quick and helpful reply. It’s works wright now :grinning: Thank you so much Sir. You saved my day.

By the way…I tried with the path but without any success.
I inserted this one:

PATH=/storage/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/service.system.docker/docker

Maybe

export PATH=$PATH:/storage/.kodi/addons/service.system.docker/bin
