How to renewal a certificate and execute a script?

Help
#1

Hello. I am new to Linux.

I have issued a certificate. The command line tells me that in order to renew the certificate, I must execute the renewal certificate. I also have a script that copies certificates.

How do I add certificate renewal and execution of my script to the task scheduler?

Like this ? Some examples:

0 0 0 ? * * * certbot certonly post-hook /opt//script.sh
or
0 0 0 ? * * *certbot certonly && /opt//script.sh
or
0 0 0 ? * * *certbot certonly post-hook /opt//script.sh
or
0 0 0 ? * * *certbot certonly post-hook && /opt//script.sh

Hi @Andrei9385

if you use Certbot, there are some Certbot command line and script options you can use.

See

pre-and-post-validation-hooks

and --deploy-hook

A deploy hook is not sufficient to perform a renewal with --manual; you also need an auth hook.

The deploy hook is used to copy the certificates after they're obtained, while the auth hook is used to satisfy the certificate authority's challenges in order to permit the certificate to be issued.
