@Fozi said in rpi3 freezes every few days .. need help:

@nagaculun Are you sure that the crontab is really executed? ssh into the RPI, execute ‘htop’ and check the uptime. The uptime should be the difference between the cronjob execution and the actual time.

For setting up the crontab, that reboots the RPi I needed priviledged rights.

$ sudo crontab -e and then insert, e.g. 15 1,9,17 * * * sudo shutdown -r now >/dev/null 2>&1

This reboots the RPi at 01:15, 9:15 and 17:15 every day (every 8 hrs.).
Note the two ‘sudo’ for editing the crontab and initiating the shutdown.

Yes, as I literally wait and see when it happens.

@bdream in the case where I made a copy, and NOT a fork, i create a fork, rename my installed instance out of the way, then clone the fork from MY github userid, and then copy the files from the saved instance to the new instance, retest, then use git to save those (commit to local repository) and then push to the fork. then u can erase your saved instance

now on the fork, others can try it out, as they can clone YOUR instance, instead of the original.

you can then create a pull request to the original repository.

your form does NOT stay in sync automatically with the original…

YOU have to create a pull request FROM the original to your fork to get and merge updates…

it works. thanks.

@j.e.f.f

It works.

Thanks a lot.

Additional picture from behind. Should have taken the picture before installation. It is a little difficult to see though. Somehow it was rotated when I upload the picture.
