pdfdestinantion="/var/www/bigbluebutton-default"
cd ${pdfdestinantion}
rm ${pdfdestinantion}/default.pdf
curl ${pdfsource} -o default.pdf
  • Change line 3 as you want
  • exit
  • chmod +x defaultpdf.sh
  • nano /etc/crontab
  • Put this line in:

  • This should run the script at 3:01 am.
  • If you run multiple BBB instances and you want to maintain only one script, you can run it like this on the remote servers: wget -qO- https://kivinet.de/defaultpdf.sh | bash -s
