Problems with nextcloud cron

Hi there.Having issues with background cron job in Nextcloud.
I´ve tried different examples from other posts in forums. But since the last upgrades to 29.xx its not working.

The page “general settings” in NC has a warning “some jobs have not been executet since a month…”

In TrueNas system settings → advanced → cron jobs I´ve tried:
(App name is nextcloud7)

k3s kubectl exec -n ix-nextcloud7 --stdin --tty “$(/usr/local/bin/k3s kubectl -n ix-nextcloud7 get pods --field-selector status.phase=Running -o name | cut -f2 -d’/')” – su -s /bin/bash www-data -c ‘php occ maintenance:mode --on’

If i run manually the message is :

“Job nextcloud cronjob Completed Successfully”

But i get an email with:

“Error from server (NotFound): pods “nextcloud7-postgres-68c95bcb6c-9r7b4\nnextcloud7-redis-746dcd467f-k752r\nnextcloud7-685ddcc769-zc9zg\nnextcloud7-nginx-5b9664df5-x96wf” not found”

I´m aware “php occ maintenance:mode --on” is not the correct command to be executed.

So the error message above shows that an extra “n” is added to the pod name. why?

Need help to get the cron command correct.

  • why yhe extra “n”
  • how to format command to execute cron instead of “occ maintenance:mode”
