      Hi,
      I setup my mirror years ago and used a feature like crontab to have it reboot once pr day.

      Now, I would like to remove the autyomatic reboot, but I cannot find what triggers it.

      Nothing under crontab -e and nothing in /etc/rc.local.

      last -x produces this for one day:

      Kragh    pts/0        192.168.1.20     Wed Feb 11 17:41   still logged in
      Kragh    tty1                          Wed Feb 11 06:01    gone - no logout
      runlevel (to lvl 5)   6.6.51+rpt-rpi-v Wed Feb 11 06:01   still running
      Kragh                                  Wed Feb 11 06:01    gone - no logout
      reboot   system boot  6.6.51+rpt-rpi-v Wed Feb 11 06:00   still running
      shutdown system down  6.6.51+rpt-rpi-v Wed Feb 11 06:00 - 06:00  (-00:00)
      

      Help is much appreciated…

      Br,
      Kragh

        @MilkShake if you use

        sudo crontab -e
        

        You edit the system wide list vs the user list

          @sdetweil Yes, it could have something to do with that. I need to look into how to view that. Thank you.

            @sdetweil The problem for me is, that when it automatically reboots at 6:00 (which has worked fine for years), MM all of a sudden does not start up anymore. So each morning I wake up to a mirror with the Raspbian OS desktop open and the RPI seems to be unresponsive. I cannot SSH or MSTSC to it. When I cut off power to the MM and reboot it that way, it comes up fine (usually).

              I will only say, sd cards are fragile and only have a small lifespan

              They were not designed to be written to a lot

              Backup now if you have not…

                @sdetweil Thanks Sam! I ended up copying the SD card to a new one.
