changing/downloading files with permissions

Can't understand why you are mucking about with cron jobs when ABM has a built in scheduler. If you want to automatically update the provider file add an option to do it when the plugin runs.

The closest I've got to that is having it run the plugin on boot and set a power timer or add an url into main.py

Would this work?

 
import schedule
import time

def job():
       call('/usr/script/updaProviders.sh')

schedule.every().day.at("00:00").do(job)

I'm not sure if this is needed 

while True:
    schedule.run_pending()
    time.sleep(1)

Or could I call in the updateproviders.py file?

If you want it to run before a scan call it in the _init_ or onFirstExec in main.py. There is already a scheduler so no point recreating the wheel.

In autobouqetesmarker? I thought you said not to modify the files in autobouqetesmarker when I mentioned that I managed to add my custom.xml github link to the main.py because updates will overwrite them so to keep it a standalone plugin.

The above didn't work I got no module named schedule

I was helping someone in another thread and had a thought would I be able to download abm zip do my edits and and rename abm to AutoBouquetsMakerCustomMix and do an IPK? for it that way it wont be overwritten with updates
