Good afternoon,
I have an Opnsense instance running. Installed the Git plugin and enabled backups to my local, inhouse Git repo. This works as intended. Nightly updates work, and same when I click the "Setup/Test Git" button in the Gui.
I've now tried to enable a Cron job to increase the backup frequencies, both hourly and every 6.th hours. The cron job seems to be running but I constantly get this error from the Cron job:
system remote backup Hourly config backup to Git/Forgejo] returned Error (255)
This has me puzzled and not really able to figure out what this problem is all about, especially since it seemt to be working from the Gui manually trigged. Any help would be grately appreciated.

Did you put the actual string "Hourly config backup to Git/Forgejo" into the cron job parameter for "remote backup" instead of a random delay?

I totally missed that one, for some reason I assumed a field for comments. Once that was cleared out if works as it should.
