Now that my script is running as wished to produce the catalog files I wanted, a new problem has arisen:

For the calibredb-based script to run, calibre must not be running.

So just in case it is running when the cron-job is launched, I have tried to stop it from the script, with pkill calibre, pkill /opt/calibre/bin/calibre, etc run either as user or as root. only pkill /opt/calibre/bin/calibre-parallel stopped something, nothing else works.

Any idea ?
