      Hi Guys!

      Really need some lead over here.

      By any chance, how or where can i edit service watchdog to stop at certain time, then start again at certain time? Because i need some service to stop at certain time so watchdog don't have to restart it during that period since cron job will handle on firing up the service.

          I can't edit the cronjob?

            Well yes you can, but it will be undone on package reinstall/upgrade.

              In that case, if the package remain the same should be OK right? Where can I try that?

                If by "package remain the same" you mean you will never configure anything there, then sure… Otherwise, your changes will get ignored every time you save the configuration (more precisely, the cronjob will run twice. This ain't a viable way of doing things, sorry. Move on.)
