I apologise if this has been asked before but I am not sure how to question a search query for this.
I am extremely new to linux and I have been learning as I go to solve issues.

I am trying to set up working cron jobs to restart a game server I am running.

Currently my crontab looks like this

```
#backup world as instructed by https://github.com/g1franc/SEDS-Setup
0 0 * * * /home/root/spaceengineers/start.sh backupworld
#close server
1 0 * * * /usr/bin/screen -S spaceengineers -X stuff "^C"
#close screen
2 0 * * * /usr/bin/screen -S spaceengineers -X stuff "^M"
#recreate server
3 0 * * * /home/root/spaceengineers/start.sh

```

Now on the backup world I get in my syslog file located at `/var/log` i get 

```
May 24 00:00:01 SpaceEngineers CRON[1958]: (root) CMD (/home/root/spaceengineers/start.sh backupworld)
May 24 00:00:01 SpaceEngineers CRON[1957]: (CRON) info (No MTA installed, discarding output)

```

and that is also the same with the recreate server

```
May 24 00:03:01 SpaceEngineers CRON[2269]: (root) CMD (/home/root/spaceengineers/start.sh /usr/bin/screen -x spaceengineers)
May 24 00:03:01 SpaceEngineers CRON[2268]: (CRON) info (No MTA installed, discarding output)

```

The other commands work perfectly fine.

now before anyone questions why I have structured my code the way I have, its because the tutorial i was following says to start the server via `~/spaceengineers/start.sh -x spaceengineers`
and from what I have read i need to do /usr/bin/screen to access any screen commands in Cron

What am I doing wrong and what do I need to do to rectify my issues.

**EDITED:** Changed the crontab to match current contents on my server, issues remain the same

**Pastebin of start.sh**
