How to set Zurmo Cron Jobs

Zurmo requires certain cron jobs to be set up for your hosting account so that it can perform some of its functions properly. A cron job is a scheduled task executed by the system at a specified interval or time and date.

Setting your Zurmo cron jobs can be done quite easily with the Cron Jobs option in your cPanel. Just follow the steps below:

  • Log into your cPanel you have with WebHostFace.
  • Press the Cron Jobs button in the Advanced tab.
  • In the Add New Cron Job part of the page that opens you have to set the interval or time/date for every cron job and enter the command to be executed when specified.

These Zurmo Cron Jobs’ intervals are recommended by the Zurmo developers and are intended for hosting your Zurmo CRM on a VPS or DS. If you are running your installation on a shared environment, we would recommend you to make the lowest intervals be not so frequent (e.g. every 10 minutes instead of every minute). Running Cron Jobs too frequently requires a lot of system resources and will definitely take a toll on the performance of your website and the server as a whole.

The list for all the crons to be added is:

  • cd /home/(cPanel_user)/public_html/app/protected/commands; /usr/local/bin/php /home/(cPanel_user)/public_html/app/protected/commands/zurmoc
