[HELP] cron no longer runs after computer sleep

[remuspoienar]

Hi,

I believe i got something wrong in my setup, after my macbook goes to sleep the cron doesn't execute the jobs in the next day.
I have attached my jobber file config below , at the end.

If i change the config file and set the time of the cron to the following minute,and reload jobber, it will run. Also running with the test command at any point works, so the script clearly works. It's just the cron that tips me off. Normally it should have been ran today at 08:30 AM, and if in my terminal i output the list command, it appears as the next run time, though it passed it 4 hours ago, and the next run should be Monday at that same hour.

Can you please give me some hints on why sleep could affect the cron.
Thank you

Do you use the version provided via Homebrew or do you run it via Docker?

Not sure if it's related, but I was running into a problem with jobbermaster erroring out.

So, the issue here is that jobbermaster was coded to assume that /usr/local/var exists, it seems.

sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/var/jobber did it for me.
