I am running DietPi on a RPI in my network with some docker containers on it.

I recently got the idea to switch off containers when not needed, e.g. during the night, since this will allow my hard drive to switch off and saves a bit of energy.

I do not recall how I found out, but for some reason what I did was to just edit the /etc/crontab file that DietPi has with sudo. Worked like a charm, I had my containers stopped and started just as specified.

But then I wanted to make some changes, change some times, add some other stuff. I did it the same way, edit the /etc/crontab file with sudo. Didn't work, none of my new additions worked.

I searched online and figured out the better way to do this is use the command "crontab -e", edit stuff there, then also check with "crontab -l" right after. That worked, now my new containers are all behaving as they should.

But how do I now get rid of the stuff I defined in /etc/crontab? I removed it all from that file, saved it, restarted the system, nothing removed these, they are somehow persisting. I know they do because I use a different log file for these and that log file still gets generated now. How can I fix this?

Bonus question about log files, how can I make them more useful in terms of information? Right now they just name the command, not even a timestamp or anything.

Thanks!

Anyone here playing Step-On-It on the Steamdeck with bluetooth controllers in local multiplayer?

I cannot get the game to recognize both my controllers. I got an 8bitdo lite and an 8bitdo pro 2, they both work fine in tons of other games.

Step-on-it only recognizes the Steamcontroller (the deck itself) and the 8bitdo lite by name, I cannot select the 8bitdo pro 2 somehow, even though it is connected and working. The steamcontroller works fine when selected, just not practical when I want to use the deck docked.

I am running the linux native version, if that matters, happy to try the windows version if it can help. I have set controller order as 1) 8bitdo pro2, 2) 8bitdo lite, 3) steamcontroller.
