Update Moode Library w/ cron

To schedule the moOde library update to happen every night, you can use a cron job with the ‘mpc update’ command. Here’s how to set it up:

  1. Enable and start the cron service on your moOde system:
sudo systemctl enable cron
sudo systemctl start cron
  1. Open the crontab file for editing:
sudo crontab -e
  1. Add the following line to schedule the update every night at midnight:
0 0 * * * /usr/bin/mpc update

This cron job will run the ‘mpc update’ command at 00:00 (midnight) every day, which will update the moOde library[2].

Replace with the directory you want to update[2].

Remember to save and exit the crontab file after making these changes. The library update will now occur automatically every night at midnight.
