[marsh storm]

Does not tell how you set it up though :/

[marsh storm]

I have been trying 3-4 different stuff and cannot get any to work :/

Ummm, it has a whole example CRON setup @ the bottom of the page...what are you 'missing'/having difficulty?

[marsh storm]

I did try and it did not work. I have been using ubuntu for 2 weeks and there is something that I am missing as I have tried 3 or 4 differnt ways

Try a single (https://crontab.guru/) MESSAGE.SH. See if the msg. shows in-game & in the logs. Put the scripts in correct location, give 'em the needed perms & setup a single CRON job to run in-game

*/5 * * * * /home/steam/scripts/includes/message.sh "Test every 5 min"

How do I setup correct perms tough?
