Stratus Panel - Cron > Schedule

The Webscale STRATUS control panel makes creating and managing Cron tasks quite simple.

WARNING: do NOT add Cron tasks using the Crontab -e command via SSH. Your entries will be overwritten.

All Magento stores require a basic set of cron jobs to be set. Each cron job is a task executed according to a schedule. Additional cron tasks may be added as needed.

Create a Cron Task

To create a new Cron task:

  1. Go to Cron > Schedule in the Webscale STRATUS sidebar menu.
  • Click + Add New Cron.
    • Label — Enter a name for the cron task for your use.
    • Enabled — Select “Yes” to set the taks to active or “No” for inactive.
    • Command — Enter the shell command to run at regular intervals. Be sure to use full paths to binaries and other files.

    E.g., to run “mytask.php,” the command might look like /usr/bin/php /srv/mytask.php.

    • Common Cron Settings — Select one of the common interval settings or “Custom” to allow manual entry of interval values.

    For help in creating manual interval settings, see Crontab Guru.

  • Click CREATE to save the cron task.
