I am on Mint XFCE and Redshift is just so inconsistent and I have tried its forks, also inconsistent. So instead I have been using sct in the terminal to adjust the temperature, and have set a command that resets it back to normal every time that I log on. However, I was wondering if there is a way to make it so that “sct 2750” runs every day at 10 pm or during a specific period of time.

Edit: I figured out the solution which was to create a crontab with the following line in it: 0 22 * * * env DISPLAY=:0 XAUTHORITY=$HOME/.Xauthority /usr/bin/sct 2750

      Yeah, a great way to get something that doesn’t quite work right.

      They came to this place to get an answer from a person with firsthand experience, not to be told to ask an AI

          I’m well aware of its capabilities and it can do a lot, undoubtedly. I just imagine that if they’re going to a social media site to ask a question the goal is to have a person give them advice rather than being told to take the question elsewhere.

          But it is what it is, my reply wasn’t meant to be a diss on ChatGPT, it’s a cool tool. Just personal preference at the end of the day. For some things I could see myself using ChatGPT for convenience, for other things where I’m not so hellbent on saving time I find it much more fulfilling to research and gain a better understanding through my own searches or from interacting with others and getting different human perspectives on a topic.
