Domain Syncronisation Report emails

[Sohan]

How do I stop these emails coming? I'm getting bombarded with them! Only happend after the move to 3.7.1

You should get one report each time it runs. You shouldn't have it running any more often than once every few days.

I'm getting one a minute. How do I stop it?

Check your CRON settings.

[brianoz]

Your cron settings will be "* * * * *" (or something similar with a '*' in first position) ie run every minute.

 

You need to change them to "5 1 * * 1" ie run on monday at 01:05am. You only need to run that job about weekly.

wget -O/dev/null http://support.alloyhosting.com/cron/index.php - runs every 5 minutes (kayako)

 

php -q /home/alloy/public_html/manage/admin/cron.php - once at midnight

 

php -q /home/alloy/public_html/manage/modules/registrars/directi/directisync.php - every 6 hours

 

and that's it.

You probably have the wrong time setting in cron; I notice you posted the lines and your interpretation of the times, but not the actual time settings from cron.

php -q /home/alloy/public_html/manage/admin/cron.php - once at midnight

 

php -q /home/alloy/public_html/manage/modules/registrars/directi/directisync.php - every 6 hours

 

and that's it.

 

If your using cpanel click the unix style when looking at the cron settings and copy us the full line there

Hi Sohan,

 

It is as you say every 6 hours have you tried changing it to another time? every 6 hours is probably a little unnecessary for syncing domain scripts try changing it to something more like every 3 days if your still having an issue i would suggest opening a support ticket and getting matt to look as you shouldn't be getting domain sync emails every minute or so.

When I checked in standard mode in cPanel, it said every minute, every hour but as you can see it didn't in advance mode.

 

Should be fixed now I hope.

[brianoz]

In the first field, "*" means every minute, and "*/5" means every 5 minutes.

 

The good news was that you were only running the job every minute for one hour every 6 hours

 

Sounds like you're on top of it now though. Cron can be very confusing, my students often find it hard at first!
