Check whether autorenewal has been set to run

I just installed certbot on a new DigitalOcean droplet. How can I check whether autorenewal has been set to run? As far as I can tell no entires were added to crontab.

Hi @DaniG2k,

You should also check with systemctl list-timers because newer versions of Certbot are likely to use systemd timers instead of cron jobs.

We also have a bit written about automated renewal here.

It does depend on your installation method, but you can follow those instructions to set up a cronjob, if you are still not sure.

I presume this means that it’s enabled:

Correct?
