Trying again!
@Ev0
Is there anyone else who can fix this cron problem?
Have tested both standard installation and multiboot but does not work in 5.5.1.
No changes have been made. only transferred channel list and uses Oscam
On Vu+Zero4K you have to go back to 5.2 before cron works.
A good way to check if cron works is to set the time to update
with NTP instead of transponder time.
Then a root file will automatically appear in /etc/cron/crontab/root
with this cron, if it appears then it works.
If it does not appear then cron does not work.

The image was switched to use NTP time by default in 5.4 so there is no need for any cron timer to be set for this.

Ok, that's fine but just used NTP time as an example.
Don't use this myself, stick to transponder time.
But setting a cron still doesn't work.
As I said it works in 5.2 but not after this.

Worked for me when I tested it this afternoon.

It's strange that my cron doesn't work in anything other than 5.2. using VU+Zero4K.
I only create the root file and put it in the folder /etc/cron/crontab/
Cron looks something like this:

30 6 * * * /usr/bin/IPTV.sh user passw >> /tmp/cron.log 2>&1

Also have a Pulse4kmini, will test 5.5.1 on it.
Have been on vu+ for many years and this should be plug and play,
it shouldn't be necessary to activate anything.

Works fine with Pulse4kmini.
Found an error in the Vu+Zero4k log like this:

Feb 15 07:08:00 vuzero4k cron.info crond[1454]: (root) RELOAD (/var/spool/cron/crontabs/root)
Feb 15 07:08:00 vuzero4k cron.info crond[1454]: (CRON) missing newline before EOF

Created a new cron in notepad++ and the problem was solved.
And works just fine on Vu+Zero4k too.
