[SOLVED] USB passthrough failure when running from crontab

[tonycav]

Hi, i have a strange problem

If I launch this code from CLI proxmox

qm set 105 -usb0 host=0bc2:61b6

the USB disk is successfully mounted in the VM

but if i run the same code from crontab the disk won't mount

Thank you for your time

Is there an error that you can share?
Perhaps the issue is that "qm" command cant be found? This would be due to crontab not loading the environmental variables like PATH and you have to specify absolute path to the binaries you are executing.

Hi,

Maybe you have to set the full path of the qm i.e., /sbin/qm set 105 -usb0 host=0bc2:61b6

A user on another forum suggested adding a hold to the command and now it works great

30 12 * * 0-7 @reboot sleep 10; /sbin/qm set 105 -usb0 host=0bc2:61b6
