Create Cron Job ​
Schedules a system cron job. Pick one of the ready-made schedules or write your own, choose the system user the job runs as, and give the command. Saved jobs appear on the Cron Jobs list.
Overview ​
URL: /admin/settings/cron-jobs/create
Reached from Settings > System > Cron Jobs, then Create Cron Job. The breadcrumb reads Settings > Cron Jobs > Create.
Schedule ​
- Common Settings - a ready-made schedule, from Once Per Minute to Once Per Month, or Custom (use fields below). The full list is in Cron Jobs.
- Cron Expression (required) - the schedule in the standard five-field format: minute, hour, day of month, month, day of week. A preset fills this in for you.
Under the field, the form lists the next five times the expression will fire. Check it before saving; an expression that fires more often than you intended is visible here rather than after the fact.
Command ​
- Common Commands - Run PHP Script or Call Webhook pre-fill an example command you then edit, and Custom Command... leaves the field to you.
- Command to Execute (required) - the command line to run. Give absolute paths, since a cron job does not inherit your shell environment.
- Run As User (required) - the system user that runs the command.
Actions ​
- Create - save the job.
- Create & create another - save it and reopen an empty form.
- Cancel - return to the list without saving.
