I decided not to use Easy Cron.
My site is SiteGround. There AI responded to my cron with the following. Do you agree with there assessment?
Do you see anything wrong with the following cron?
/usr/local/php80/bin/php -d memory_limit=-1 -d max_execution_time=0 /home/customer/www/home2000.com/public_html/applications/core/interface/task/task.php 29eb6f039e43b68b4ae33156cb778ac2
Do you see anything wrong with the following cron? /usr/local/php80/bin/php -d memory_limit=-1 -d max_execution_time=0 /home/customer/www/home2000.com/public_html/applications/core/interface/task/task.php 29eb6f039e43b68b4ae33156cb778ac2
Here is there response:
The cron command you've provided seems to be intended to execute a PHP script with certain parameters, but there are a couple of issues or points to clarify:
1. Script Path: The command includes placeholders (`/home/customer/www/home2000.com/public_html/applications/core/interface/task/task.php 29eb6f039e43b68b4ae33156cb778ac2`) which should be replaced with the actual path to the PHP script you want to execute. Ensure that these placeholders are replaced with the correct script paths or parameters.
2. PHP Version: The command specifies PHP 8.0 (`/usr/local/php80/bin/php`). Make sure that this version is compatible with the script you are running and is supported on your hosting environment.
3. Memory and Execution Time: You've set `memory_limit=-1` and `max_execution_time=0`, which means there are no limits on memory usage and execution time. While this can be useful in some scenarios, it's also risky as it could potentially lead to resource abuse if the script has any issues. Consider setting sensible limits based on your script's requirements and server capacity.
4. Cron Setup: Ensure that this cron command is properly set up in your Site Tools under Devs > Cron Jobs. You should also provide a valid email address when setting up the cron job to receive the output for debugging purposes, which can help you verify if the cron job is executing as expected.
If you need to adjust or verify this cron job, you can do so by accessing the Cron Jobs section in your Site Tools. If you're unsure about the script path or any parameters, it might be helpful to consult with the developer of the script or reach out to us through the "Contact Us" tab on your current page for further assistance.
Thanks for your help.
