In case anyone is looking for an actual cronjob example. This works wonderfully:<p><pre><code>  #!&#x2F;bin&#x2F;bash
  cd &#x2F;srv&#x2F;cert&#x2F;domain.xyz
  simp_le -d domain.xyz:&#x2F;srv&#x2F;www&#x2F;domain.xyz&#x2F;html \
     -f key.pem -f cert.pem -f fullchain.pem \
     &amp;&amp; service apache2 reload
</code></pre>
And in the crontab:<p><pre><code>  43 1 * * * &#x2F;srv&#x2F;bin&#x2F;cert-renew || true
</code></pre>
EDIT: This is using the simp_le client (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;kuba&#x2F;simp_le" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;kuba&#x2F;simp_le</a>), not the official client. But this one is wayy easier to use.<p>EDIT 2: Guide here: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;blog.philippheckel.com&#x2F;2015&#x2F;12&#x2F;04&#x2F;lets-encrypt-5-min-guide-to-set-up-cronjob-based-certificate-renewal&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;blog.philippheckel.com&#x2F;2015&#x2F;12&#x2F;04&#x2F;lets-encrypt-5-min...</a>
