First at all thanks for the tool. Simple to install and easy to use.

Please add a note to your readme or even better a hint durin gthe install routine in regards to deleting cron jobs.

delete all jobs

crontab -r -u "$username" 2>/dev/null

I was installing SBFspot as an additional feature and would have never expect that my existing cron jobs would be erased.

Cronjobs not related to sbfspot should be retained.

# Get current cron jobs without SBFspot related ones
cron=$(crontab -l -u "$username" 2>/dev/null|grep -Eqv "(^$|SBFspot|daydata|monthdata)")

I had this behaviour on two raspberry pi#s yesterday. Looking at crontab -e, basically all prior lines were gone incl. the standard comments at the top.

I never heard of issues with that part of the script. I’ll retest it.

Well, this is a nasty bug... Don't know why this was never discovered before. grep arguments shouldn't have -q

grep -Eqv "(^$|SBFspot|daydata|monthdata)"

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Cool. Thanks for the quick fix.
