[I was using crontab -e to shutdown and update the server along with the workshop maps and now the server is no longer updating correctly. The weird part is if i run the shell script via command line everything works just fine… It’s almost like a problem with cron not executing the scripts.]
Please provide a step-by-step process of how the bug can be reproduced. The more details you provide us with the easier it will be for us to find and fix the bug:
Instead i am going to provide the scripts them selves.

Now I am going to provide what Crontab -e looks like.
# Edit this file to introduce tasks to be run by cron.
#
# Each task to run has to be defined through a single line
# indicating with different fields when the task will be run
# and what command to run for the task
#
# To define the time you can provide concrete values for
# minute (m), hour (h), day of month (dom), month (mon),
# and day of week (dow) or use '*' in these fields (for 'any').#
# Notice that tasks will be started based on the cron's system
# daemon's notion of time and timezones.
#
# Output of the crontab jobs (including errors) is sent through
# email to the user the crontab file belongs to (unless redirected).
#
# For example, you can run a backup of all your user accounts
# at 5 a.m every week with:
# 0 5 * * 1 tar -zcf /var/backups/home.tgz /home/
#
# For more information see the manual pages of crontab(5) and cron(8)
#
# m h dom mon dow command
@reboot sh /home/harby/server/start.sh
#34 4 * * * /home/harby/autoupdate.sh >/home/harby/autoupdate.log 2>&1
#52 3 * * * sh /home/harby/update.sh
#54 3 * * * sh /home/harby/workshopmapupdate.sh

Some thing has happened because at one point in time these scripts were working correctly with out issues… I haven’t figured out exactly what yet.
Now the start command works just fine…
Here it is…
#!/bin/sh
killall 9 ConanSandboxServer.exe
killall 9 ConanSandboxServer-Win64-Test.exe
killall 9 Xvfb
sleep 2s
/usr/bin/screen -d -m xvfb-run --auto-servernum --server-args='-screen 0 640x480x24:32' wine /home/harby/server/ConanSandboxServer.exe -log -MaxPlayers=70
The goal behind killing screen each time is to make sure nothing is overlapping ontop each other.
Any thoughts on this?? I am starting to slowly pull my hair out as i go through each thing line by line…
Again mods are not updating nor is the game updating unless manually run from command line.
