Help - cannot modify or stop automated observations

SatNOGS
1

Some time ago, I set up a set of automated observations to test my system with a new set of antennas. I *thought" I had done so via crontab, but my editing or commenting out my crontab entry (yes, there is one, but may be a relic from previous attempts that did not work - cannot be sure) does not modify or stop these observations. I have checked the usual suspects in boot files, and come up entry. From those with more experience, how could I discover what is invoking the automated script to add observations without pulling open every config file? Would be appreciative of any advice.

Thank you.

not running docker I assume ?
I would place my bets on crontab, or did you put it in the systemd service ?
add-systemd-timer-option-b
in that case:

sudo systemctl stop satnogs-auto-scheduler.timer
sudo systemctl disable satnogs-auto-scheduler.timer

renaming/moving the directory containing the scheduler would also be a pretty effective way of breaking it (:

Thanks, I’ll give it a try. It’s definitely not in Crontab, so maybe it’s systemd. I ran those two commands and got no error. I did get a confirmation that said “Removed /etc/systemd/system/timers.target.wants/satnogs-auto-scheduler.timer.” Is that confirmation that is where I placed it? I need to keep better notes :slight_smile:
Thanks.

Ps. Not using Docker.
