Problem with cron and state changes

I just installed ZoneMinder on an Ubuntu Server this week and love it! I setup two different states, one to just Monitor during the day and one for Detection at night and weekends. This morning when I looked at the system, Function had changed for all Monitors to "Monitor" as expected. However, all Monitors were still capturing events. Only by clicking on the Running button, changing the state to Detection, then back to Monitor, did the capture of events stop.

Here's my crontab:

Code: Select all

0 8 * * 1-5 /usr/bin/zmpkg.pl Monitor
0 17 * * 1-5 /usr/bin/zmpkg.pl Detection
* * * * 0,6 /usr/bin/zmpkg.pl Detection

Any help would be appreciated.
