This is the window which opens up when I want to add cron jobs. I have no clue what to do there. On my old server there was no such problem.

Afrodude Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 (edited) @hpcrazy this is good. In the title type down any name ex "My forum cron job" Command to run in here you must copy this from you ACP When to run must be changed to every minute.

hpcrazy Posted April 9, 2021 Author Share Posted April 9, 2021 ok - thanks. I have set it now that that command can be run once a minute. And " outgoing mails " can be left empty ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hpcrazy Posted April 9, 2021 Author Share Posted April 9, 2021 ok - this is how it looks now and I changed the chmod for that file which was suggested in the Admin CP there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoffeeCake Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 I'm trying to sort out what that web interface is doing, but I don't think you have it just right. You want the job to run every minute, not just at :01 past the hour. If that "when to run" box or the "selected minutes" have an option that says "run every minute" or similar you want to select that. If not, you want to select every option in the box with the :01 selected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afrodude Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 @CoffeeCake the option says Minutes then select a value or multi values. It should be working fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoffeeCake Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 1 minute ago, Afrodude said: @CoffeeCake the option says Minutes then select a value or multi values. It should be working fine. My read of this setting is that it will run once an hour, at :01 after the hour (12:01, 1:01, 2:01, 3:01, etc.). To have cron working correctly, it needs to run much more frequently than that. You'd need to select all the values in the list (assuming 00 - 59), or some other option in that drop down that is a shortcut for doing the same.

Afrodude Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Oh you are right @CoffeeCake. @hpcrazy as @CoffeeCake pointed out in the last option you must select all values from 00 to 59 in order to make it work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are all the values in the drop down "When to run" and "Minutes"? Can you edit /etc/crontab on your server via SSH? sobrenome 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hpcrazy Posted April 10, 2021 Author Share Posted April 10, 2021 I contacted the support of my webhost - it's only possible to run the cronjobs every 5 minutes. I will see if that will work. sobrenome 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davyc Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Easycron will sort you out in the blink of an eye, and they're cheap too. I use them and have never had any issues. I use their starter pack which is $12 a YEAR. https://www.easycron.com/user/register 🙂 sobrenome 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
