Knowledge base

The Cron task scheduler enables you to automatically run pages placed on your site at a specified date and time or according to a predefined cycle. This is a very useful feature to automatically execute routine tasks. 

You can schedule the Cron at a minimum interval of:

• 15 minutes with a shared hosting
  
  
  
• 1 minute with a Cloud Server
  

Creating a scheduled task

1. open the Manager (manager.infomaniak.com)
2. go to Web Hosting
3. click on the hosting/domain name concerned
4. on the left side panel, click on Tools, then on Task scheduler - Cron
5. click on the Add a scheduled task button

Important remarks

• Cron tasks do not know the absolute path. Calling PHP without specifying the full paths to the executable therefore makes it impossible to execute the task
• emails of Cron tasks are available via the mail command
