Starting and stopping on schedule
To run transmission from the crontab (/etc/crontab), it must be associated with a display as in the following example. The first line starts transmission at midnight, and the second stops it at 8am. Edit the crontab with sudo nano /etc/crontab, and add the following lines (replace username with your Linux username).
0 0 * * * username transmission --display=:0 0 8 * * * username transmission --display=:0 --quit
Now press CTRL + O and then hit return to save your changes to the file.
