origami

How can I alter the cron settings?

Asked by Chris Miller

With the cron option enabled, origami currently starts at 5pm and shuts off at 8pm, but I'd like to alter those times. What's the easiest way to do so?

Thanks.

The cron settings are set within the crontab of the origami user. To edit the times you can run:

sudo crontab -u origami -e

You should see two lines, one for start and one for stop. Simply update the times (first field) and save.

Thanks. I checked my cron and the root user's cron, but it didn't occur to me that origami was using it's own username (which makes sense in retrospect). Thanks for the help!
