        So it seems that the cronjob is okay.

        Can you do:
        ˋˋˋls -als /run/user/1000/wayland*ˋˋˋ

        I think you need wayland-0 iso wayland-1.

        With ˋˋˋ grep username /etc/passwdˋˋˋ (use your username) you can verify that your user has uid 1000.

          In de laatste 2 regels mist een spatie bij /home.

              ok i checked some more and did some tests

              73aa8bb5-2eeb-4bac-888c-2822ba96a7ad-image.png

              when I execute the following I get the error message that I also see in the log

              /usr/bin/wlr-randr --output H DMI-A-1 --off
              failed to connect to display

              also running the sh files via putty gives the error
              it seems that the command:
              /usr/bin/wlr-randr --output H DMI-A-1 --off
              the error message gives the question is this command incorrect or is there an underlying problem?

                @Sam-0 Can you run the following from the command line and she your results:
                wlr-randr
                ls -als /run/user/1000/wayland*

                Share your results. Either the wayland-1 is different as indicated by @evroom or HDMI-A-1 is actually a different version on your system.

                Share the results from the above and we take it from there. Also, @evroom has indicated the there is supposed to be a space before /home on the crontab.

                    So as stated before you most probably need to change wayland-1 to wayland-0 in your scripts.
                    Give it a try.
                    Furthermore the .lock file may cause a problem, but I guess this will show in your error log.
                    And temporarily change the times in your cronjob to speed things up a bit.
                    Waiting till ten and midnight is not really necessary :-)

                      @evroom *.lock should not cause an issue. I have same on my system and no issues with it. I agree with the wayland-1 change to wayland-0.

                        @evroom

                        should it be modified in this way?

                        output HDMI-A-1 --on
                        Into
                        output HDMI-A-0 --on
