      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

                      No, like this:

                      export WAYLAND_DISPLAY=wayland-0

                      In both scripts.
