Scripted Plex Installation

@Mauricio

is there a command I can use that will show me the cron job is scheduled and how often?

Yes, that command is crontab -l. But you’d need to be able to read cron syntax, for which there are plenty of resources on the web.

@Mauricio

Before doing crontab -l like you suggested, I was on 1.41.0.something I THINK.

crontab -l just lists the cron table for your current user; it doesn’t actually upgrade anything (or run any of the other commands scheduled). If the upgrade hasn’t run for some reason, you can run pkg upgrade, which will upgrade you to the latest version available in the FreeBSD package repositories. That version will often lag behind what Plex has released, because updating those packages takes some time.

This is what I get when I run that command:

root@pms:~ # crontab -l
#Upgrade all installed packages and restart Plex
18 3 * * 0 pkg upgrade -y && service plexmediaserver restart

Okay, well I’m feeling better about it. I will pay more attention, perhaps this is just me not paying close enough attention. Thank you so much for all the help!
