      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.

            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

                        @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.
