See my reply above and no # and no spaces at the start of my line.
I just spotted something that my line contains the wrong Java version
Doesn’t matter we are not using that line.
So just for completeness shall I remove my line altogether because it did not work before
I have very untidy crontabs because I never remove anything, just prefix with #
I can give you 8 minutes max and then I’m asleep.
I know it is just a typo, but all this potty talk has me rolling on the floor

I wish more people tried systemd instead of rc.local and crontab!

Have patience… it is all part of the potty

Okay I have followed your instructions shall I now do sudo reboot
Haaaaaa I’m amazed that anybody has got a sense of humour at this ghastly time in the morning
@jasperdog yes.
@distans where it sates rc.local is more or less obsolete I take it that means it still actually works?
in progress
Whilst I have still got time just to say thank you so very much for dedicating your time and effort in sorting this out for me I will let you go now and get some well-deserved sleep and hopefully speak to you tomorrow because I will now try to deploy the same tactics on my old Blynk server to see if it works once again many thanks good night
