2. Edit the file and enter the text below. nano -w ~/notifiarr_restart.cron

 #!/bin/bash
 if pgrep -x "notifiarr" > /dev/null
 then
     echo "Notifiarr is running."
 else 
     echo "Notifiarr is not running, starting Notifiarr"
     cd ~/notifiarr/; screen -dmS notifiarr ~/notifiarr/usr/bin/notifiarr -c ~/notifiarr/config/config.conf
 fi
