How to see/set the cron scheduler

[Benbodhi]

With the update to version 7, it is recommended to set the main cron to run every 5 minutes.

Previously, it was set to run at the time I wanted invoices to be sent to clients each day.

Now with it running every 5 minutes, how can we control when the invoice generation and reminders are sent?

I'm assuming that the new cron file will only run everything again after 24 hours since the last run (before update) as the notification email says it has bene run in the last 24 hours.

Which would mean that it should still fire at the same time each day as previous cron was set.

 

Unless I have missed it, it would be nice to have a cron scheduler interface where we can check from WHMCS admin what the current status is and set which things to run when from there instead of having to use the new tags on the end of individual cron jobs in hosting control panels.

You can define "The hour of the day you wish for the daily automated actions to be executed" in WHMCS > Setup > Automation Settings. The daily tasks will only be executed once a day at the time defined there.

Thanks, I have found this option... but still would like to see all of the crons running that need the 5 minute job set. Without being able to see the code, it's hard to tell what is even happening.

You can take a look through the logs (admin -> utilities -> logs -> system activity log), search for Cron

They do need to filter these out a bit better, but you can at least get a pretty good idea of when your cron ran last, and what it did from there. Or , you should be able to , if they did it properly
