cron job hdmi on and off

@Sam-0 this is the result

checked the cron see below

@Sam-0

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.

this way?

@Sam-0 no… the exports have to be before the wlr_randr

@sdetweil
thank you i made the adjustment

[evroom]

@Sam-0

You only had to change the 1 into a 0.
Not to move the lines around, especially not the ones with export.

#!/bin/bash
export WAYLAND_DISPLAY=wayland-0
export XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/1000
wir-randr --output HDMI-A-1 --on

But you are slowly getting there :-)
Wax on, wax off
Screen on, screen off.
