Yes. It is set to no.
Same like before.
5 seconds
1 minute (or so)
doing some thing else
5 seconds
waiting for 5 seconds after the last one was finished
1 minute again
allowing port 80 again
4 seconds
4 seconds
4 seconds
4 seconds
Well, it doesnt bother me so much, cause its just the crontab who has to wait But still strange

Made further checks with internet access blocked.
All times are from starting the command till first output. Screen gets blanked out almost immediately (1-2 seconds). I started the next command after the one before was finished:
./xsibackup --update-cron ~1 minute
./xsibackup --update-cron ~5 seconds
./xsibackup --update-cron ~75 seconds
./xsibackup --update-cron ~5 seconds
writing this post
./xsibackup --update-cron ~5 seconds
./xsibackup --update-cron ~more then one minute
enabling port 80 internet access on firewall
./xsibackup --update-cron ~2 seconds
./xsibackup --update-cron ~2 seconds
./xsibackup --update-cron ~2 seconds
./xsibackup --update-cron ~2 seconds
....

Thanks, i will check it out. But as said, sometimes its more then 1 minute till the above message is displayed.
When i start xsi the screen goes blank and stays like this for long time before your headers are displayed. ESXI has local lan nameserver, timerserver and so on access, so it should be ok from this side.
Could you tell me which protocol you use and to where it connects, then its more easy to test. Thanks a lot!
P.S. esxi 6.7u2 latest patch level

Checked it out .... Without internet connection it needs long time to start and then after more then 1 minute
NOTICE: (c) XSIBackup kills any user launched jobs, make sure you don't overlap manual jobs
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Terminated
XSIBackup PID: 2119919 ....
it continues to do the backup job.
The question is, why?

You have some typo in your docs:
(c)XSIBackup Classic: changes in version 11.0.0
--exec=yes >> "/vmfs/volumes/datastore1/xsi-dir/var/logs/xsibackup.log 2>&1"
should be
--exec=yes >> "/vmfs/volumes/datastore1/xsi-dir/var/logs/xsibackup.log" 2>&1

Does XSIBackupFree require access to the Internet? Out hosts are blocked, if you start it there is a long waiting time and then a job killed message (sorry from memory, im not on the machine right now).
If i unblock the host on our firewall it works....
