Folks,
I manage a girlfriend's Ubuntu 14.04 remotely using ssh and on occasions VNC. For some reason every so often her computer loses wifi connection and I have to call and get her to reconnect. This it does fine.
To try and keep connection alive I decided to enter sudo crontab -e and enter the following;
15 6 * * * nmcli c up id linksys
Now this works fine manually but if I enter
sudo cat syslog | grep nmcli it finds nothing.
The same code but with cron finds the daily cron tasks, what am I doing wrong with this?
