Hello,
I have a issue with MIFI router and the crontab.
I try to find an solution all long a day’s but i can’t find the problem.
1 step:
I have set all parameter that i need in the router.
Everything work perfectly and i have enter this line in crontab in Luci.
55 23 * * * [ $( cat /proc/uptime | cut -d ‘.’ -f 1 ) -gt 180 ] && reboot
The router will reboot every day at 23H55. No problem!
In the log i have this output:
Wed Jul 31 17:47:21 2019 cron.info crond[1184]: crond (busybox 1.27.2) started, log level 0
Wed Jul 31 17:47:21 2019 cron.info crond[1184]: user:root entry:(null)

2 step:
In this router, i’m create a backup file with Luci in system/backup/ flashfirmware generate archive.
There is no problem, archive is OK.
3 step
I apply this backup file in another MIFI router.
Everything work perfectly except the crontab, that doesn’t execute the job.
I have this output on the log:
Wed Jul 31 17:30:45 2019 cron.info crond[1186]: crond (busybox 1.27.2) started, log level 0
Wed Jul 31 17:38:00 2019 cron.info crond[1186]: wakeup dt=60
Wed Jul 31 17:39:00 2019 cron.info crond[1186]: wakeup dt=60
Wed Jul 31 17:40:00 2019 cron.info crond[1186]: wakeup dt=60
Wed Jul 31 17:41:00 2019 cron.info crond[1186]: wakeup dt=60
Wed Jul 31 17:42:00 2019 cron.info crond[1186]: wakeup dt=60
Wed Jul 31 17:43:00 2019 cron.info crond[1186]: wakeup dt=60
Wed Jul 31 17:44:00 2019 cron.info crond[1186]: wakeup dt=60
To get the job working, in need to click the “submit” button in Scheduled task in the Luci interface, otherwise it never execute the job.
Someone can help me, i don’t find any solution.
I need to find a solution without access to Luci, i have many routers to program with this backup file.
Many thanks
