ReadyNAS 6 pro power down mode

You might be able to do it. But you would need to manually edit some config files. Are you comfortable with using SSH?

I am and would love to

Try editing /etc/cron.d/poweroff and /etc/frontview/poweron_timer

Or maybe create a new cron entry for the additional poweroff.

Part of the way there....
Power on seems relatively straightforward. I edited /etc/frontview/poweron_timer and added the additional power on times / days
poweroff has me a bit lost
If i more /etc/cron.d/poweroff if shows 5 entries that correspond to the 5 power off times in the frontview menu (I think)
this is where my ignorance shows
I dont see where the 5 entries get their time from or how to add additional
help please ??

Look at some MAN pages e.g. for crontab.

Should have added $ crontab -e doesnt get me there

What does the /etc/cron.d/poweroff file look like now?

I assume these correspond to the mon - friday entries in Frontview power off thank you for the help

ReadyNasUltra6:/etc/cron.d# more poweroff
55 14 * * 1 root /frontview/bin/autopoweroff &> /dev/null
55 14 * * 2 root /frontview/bin/autopoweroff &> /dev/null
55 14 * * 3 root /frontview/bin/autopoweroff &> /dev/null
55 14 * * 4 root /frontview/bin/autopoweroff &> /dev/null
55 14 * * 5 root /frontview/bin/autopoweroff &> /dev/null

So minutes 55, hour 14 (2 pm), * (everyday of the month), * (every month). Then the final digit 1 indicates only run it if it is Monday, the 2 if it is Tuesday etc.

thank you that was the direction I needed
