Some of my custom cron jobs were failing after I started using Nvidia’s SDKManager to flash an Xavier and a TX2.
I noticed that it had placed an updater in there:
# NVIDIA SDK Manager updater
0 12 */7 * * /bin/bash /home/<my_username>/.nvsdkm/.updater/updater.sh
The odd thing that this updater is doing is it is modifying other lines in my crontab.
Specifically, it is adding escapes to single quotes.
For example:
0 2 * * * /home/<my_username>/my_custom_script.sh 'parameter_1' 'parameter_2'
gets changed to
0 2 * * * /home/<my_username>/my_custom_script.sh
I checked inside the updater script to see if I could disable it from repeatedly modifying my crontab, but couldn't find a way. Double quotes don't get these escape characters which works as a solution for me, but the updater probably shouldn't be modifying other lines.
For reference, I installed sdkmanager_0.9.13-4763_amd64.deb last week. Couldn't find a "current version"
sdkmanager --cli --version
