Hi zsmith and all 
I wonder if you can help again before I headbutt my keyboard
I must be doing something wrong or have a script/permission issue. My saved mine.sh text file reads as this:
I changed the file permission as 'only owner' and played around with all sorts of commands from page 7 and 66. No lines of code seem to work in either:
or
These commands don't work in crontab -e:
or
Once I save/exit out of crontab, it does say a new crontab instruction has been saved but nothing auto-starts from the GUI desktop after a test reboot. I've read up and watched online videos that make it seem so easy and makes me wonder if there's a root, path, permission or script problem? I'm using noobs/raspbian and recent to this phase of the project, I carried out a:
Would this 'full-upgrade' instead of just the normal 'upgrade' have caused an effect and is there a way to revert versions if this is part of the issue? I'm happy enough running 24/7 with no issues but really want to nail this last phase in-case of power, network and zombie problems when afk. Thanks in advance
