[SOLVED] Gettings mismatch input "item" expecting "end" errors in rule

I am getting these errors to switch on and off my sonoff powerstrips

home.rules

rule “Frontdesk Powerstrip to OFF”

Time cron “0 0 19 1/1 * ? *”
then
Item sonoffps.sendCommand(“OFF”)

logInfo("info","Frontdesk Powerstrip OFF Rule fired")

end

rule “UPS1000 Powerstrip to OFF”
when
Time cron “0 0 19 1/1 * ? *”
then

end

rule “Frontdesk Powerstrip to ON”

Will my rules be “forgotten” everytime Openhab is rebooted/restarted? my OH2 resides on an ubuntu VM which I backup every night
