Hello

Sorry if this question is stupid. It's my first time building a cluster at all. Is there a way to power up the raspberry pi zeros when I switch on the raspberry pi 4b that is my controller.

thank you

Sebastien

Hi,

You can use crontab to power them on at reboot with the below line.

@reboot (/usr/bin/sleep 4m;/usr/sbin/clusterctrl on)

Your clusterctrl script might be in /sbin/clusterctrl or /usr/sbin/clusterctrl currently - you can check by running "which clusterctrl" and then alter the line above if needed.
