While trying to cancel an automatic shutdown, I used the following inTerminal:
* * * * * /sbin/shutdown -h now
Most probably I entered it within:
crontab -e
Hoping that by not giving any time the shutdown would not happen... Big mistake! Now the computer does not turn on any more.
Do you have any suggestion to fix that in Recovery Mode or Single-User Mode?
bash: command not found: Applications
.Where exactly did you enter this line? Were youroot
at this time?crontab -e
or editing the cron file and in their panic to post for help didn’t think through the details we’d need to help them. I expect an edit soon from them to clarify what precisely they did if my answer doesn’t help them self rescue. As you point out, they had to do lots of things in terminal before pasting/typing* * * * * /sbin/shutdown
