- Platform information:
- Hardware: RaspberryPi 3B+
- OS: raspbian 9 (stretch) / openHABian
- openHAB version: 2.5.0~S1549-1 (Build #1549)
Yesterday, it has been the second time now that my openHABian lost its crontab. Last time before it was (coincidentally?) also on a Friday morning reboot.
My crontab contains some tasks like backup, but also one task to reboot at night in order to have the filesystem checked at boot.
And then it sometimes happens that after the reboot the crontab is empty. Here are the corresponding lines from the syslog:
May 10 03:20:27 HomeControlBase cron[336]: (CRON) INFO (pidfile fd = 3)

Has anyone of you had the same issue? I never had this with my other raspberryPis. Is OpenHab doing something here?
Thanks for tips!
