Ok so im not a cron job guy
Was hoping it would set up automagically for me but it did not.
The admin window shows the following (my info edited). This is also in the rpcronjob file the same way (minus the Cronjob Syntax Example: part.)
Cronjob Syntax Example:
* * * * * /usr/bin/php -q /home/xxxxxxxxl.com/rpcron.php >> /dev/null
I have seen in the RP section the following cron job command
* * * * * /usr/local/bin/wget -q --spider -t 0 http://www.xxxxxxxxx.com/rpcron.php >> /dev/null
So I have 3 questions
1 - Id prefer to have the script run this so i know its registered correctly within the RP Admin window ( I want to see it there i guess), why is this not happening and what do I need to do? All the install pre-reqs are OK now.
2 - If i cant get it to work on install what is the correct command that I want to get into the cron job
3 - on the manual install, it seems that my host is not a fan of me having an every minute call. Is there a lesser cycle that works and in any case what is the impact of not running every minute?
Thanks |

hi there,
use this as syntax for the cronjob:
* * * * * /usr/bin/php -q /home/xxxxxxxxl.com/rpcron.php >> /dev/null
just make any changes to match the php path and your internal directory.
You can make a change and to the minutes, not to run each minute, and it will work fine, just when scheduling a ping for exact minute, it won't be executed that exact minute, but when the cronjob starts...
So just pass that cronjob syntax example to your host support and they will set it up for you, when the script didn't do it automatically.
