I have a Witty Pi 4 running on Raspberry Pi 5. I is suppose to start every 7m and after the job is done it will shutdown by itself.

With this script it is jumping 1 startup schedule and is starting the Raspberry every 15m like you can see in the logs below.

schedule.wpi

BEGIN 2025-03-24 07:52:30
END   2050-12-31 23:59:59
ON    S30 WAIT
OFF   M7

schedule.log
