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

    I am seriously confused because I follow multiple Youtube videos, and also came to the solution you suggested which is to run “which sct”, and it ended up being /usr/bin/sct like you said but the command just does not run when the time comes. I am not sure what “X with environment variables” means so I would appreciate if you could explain and I can research further
