Auto-Restarting a Service

Hello, I’m kinda new to using balenaCloud but I absolutely love it! This might be a dumb question but I was wondering if there was a way to automatically restart a service within an application at a set time every day without creating a crontab.daily script on the device.

Hi, we do not support doing this. As you said, this can be done using crontab.

Hello, thanks for the response! How exactly would I go along with creating a crontab operation for this. The balenaOS terminal does not seem to have a crontab command and I would make one manually using SCP but I cannot find where balenaOS stores the services that are part of the application I have deployed.
