hi AlecSp,
/usr/bin/getTime.sh is a the standard piCore script that gets run during
the boot process to set the time. Let's use that by setting a cron job.
Go to the Tweaks page, [Tweaks] > [Schedule CRON jobs], and add a
"Custom Cron command". Remember to [Save].
2 * * * * /usr/bin/getTime.sh
This will run getTime.sh every 2 minutes. Good for testing. :D
Reboot to start cron. On piCorePlayer, crond is NOT running by default.
For testing set time to 00:00:00
$ sudo date -s 00:00:00
$ date
After about 2 minutes the date should be reset to the correct time.
Once you are happy it works, change "Custom Cron command" to this:
0 0 * * * /usr/bin/getTime.sh
This runs the script once at 24:00
Code:

#-------------------------------------------Schedule CRON
