 If you omit ``sxmo_rtcwake.sh`` for a job, the system will *not* wake up from crust.  Note that in such cases, you might want to use ``sxmo_wm.sh execwait`` instead, e.g.:
 
 ```
-*/15 * * * * sxmo_wm.sh execwait sleep 20 2>> ~/.local/state/tinydm.log
+*/15 * * * * sxmo_wm.sh execwait sleep 20 2>> ~/.local/state/sxmo.log
 ```
 
 This will make sure that the SXMO environmental variables are sent to your script.

+Tinydm logs to `$XDG_STATE_HOME/tinydm.log` by default. This is also where standard error output from other programs running in your setting may end up and a good place to check in addition to `sxmo.log` when debugging.
