Cron scripts - which are current and which can be deleted?

[sohouk]

I’m confused about theWHMCS Crons and what is needed and what is redundant.

Unfortunately the docs are not really clear and it would be helpful for me and maybe others to know what is required and what is not.

 

In the WHMCS docs there is a reference to domainsync.php as automatically checking and updating the Status and Expiry date of domains names against the domain registrar.

 

My confusion arises because I see that each registrar also has a cron script in their relevant folders.

For example for Enom this is: \whmcs\modules\registrars\enom\enomsync.php

 

The questions I seek the answers to are therefore:

• Does the domainsync.php script undertake the updating the Status and Expiry date of domains names against the domain registrar?
  
• Does it do this for multiple registrars we may be using ?
  
• Are the individual cron scripts for each registrar redundant?
  

 

Finally, there is a general cron script that allows the automation features to run and sends out invoices etc. This is located at /whmcs/admin/cron.php and therefore is it safe to say that users of WHMCS need only the two basic cron scripts;

 

 

1. The administrative script /whmcs/admin/cron.php
   
2. The registrar script whmcs/crons/domainsync.php
   

 

Is my understanding of this correct ?
