{{tag>letsencrypt certbot crontab cron}}

====== Running certbot hook scripts ======
Make sure you set the SHELL and PATH variables in crontab:

<code | download>
SHELL=/bin/bash
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
...
</code>

Then in the ///etc/letsencrypt/renewal-hooks/deploy// directory put your script which will be automatically executed next time when the certificates are renewed.

Example script:
<code | download>

#!/bin/bash

servers=("apache2" "httpd" "nginx")

for server in "${servers[@]}"; do
    if command -v "$server" &> /dev/null; then
        systemctl restart "$server"
    fi
done
</code>

Make sure the script is executable
