I am using my dev site to test an abandoned cart email through MageMonkey/Mandrill. I believe I already have the cron job already configured as other transactional emails send without a problem (maybe this assumption is wrong?).
I also installed the AOE Scheduler and it displays all of the correct cron jobs. After I manually run the heartbeat and generate a schedule - nothing else runs and I get the notice that the "heartbeat is older than xx minutes."
I'm honestly not sure where my issue is - whether it is because I am in the dev site (shouldn't be because other emails send), the cron job configuration or the AOE Scheduler, etc.
In my magento admin under configuration I have the following:
generate schedules every 15
schedule ahead for 30
missed if not run within 45
success history lifetime 1440
failure history lifetime 1440
heartbeat taske */5 * * *
I am using Magento 1.7
Thanks everyone! This is pretty new to me
Here is my cron.php file -
require 'app/Mage.php';
if (!Mage::isInstalled()) {
echo "Application is not installed yet, please complete install wizard first.";
exit;
}
// Only for urls
// Don't remove this
$_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'] = str_replace(basename(__FILE__), 'index.php', $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']);
$_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME'] = str_replace(basename(__FILE__), 'index.php', $_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME']);
Mage::app('admin')->setUseSessionInUrl(false);
umask(0);
try {
Mage::getConfig()->init()->loadEventObservers('crontab');
Mage::app()->addEventArea('crontab');
Mage::dispatchEvent('default');
} catch (Exception $e) {
Mage::printException($e);
}
I had the same issue cronjobs not working. I searched and found a solution that worked for me. My Magento is ver. 1.9.1 though.
http://support.xtento.com/wiki/Setting_up_the_Magento_cronjob
I added the following line in cron.php
$isShellDisabled = true;
after the line
$isShellDisabled = (stripos(PHP_OS, ‘win’) === false) ? $isShellDisabled : true;
Hope this helps someone who has same issue.
Most transactional emails are triggered synchronously during runtime through Magento’s events system. I can’t ask any follow up questions about your development environment, but are you sure that your system cron is set up to trigger Magento’s cron service? AOE Scheduler can generate the cron schedules but you still need the system cron to invoke Magento’s cron service.
To execute all these configured tasks, the cron.php file located in
the Magento root will need to be run periodically, for example every
15 minutes. Basically, this script will check if it needs to run any
tasks, and if it needs to schedule any future tasks.
While setting up the system cron service is crucial for getting all of Magento’s scheduled tasks to run normally, and for testing purposes I would still recommend this, you can also use AOE Scheduler to run specific jobs immediately from the Admin Panel. Check out the screenshot in the linked article that shows the screen where you can do this. Simply select the job you need to run and choose “Run now” from the Actions box.
You can also choose to run the task directly. Be careful with that, as
the execution might last longer than a few seconds or might depend on
some other command line environment settings. For testing small tasks
this might still be a comfortable option.

We have one Magento 2 project where we configured cron every min. Ideally the site has no change but still all cron jobs running too frequently.
Questions :
How Magento consider to re-run a index even there is no change.
Magento cron running synchronize or parallels way.
How to prevent run indexing if there is no change any lock or anything Magento manage ?
If your indexer is update by schedule.
then only changed data will be reindexed not all.
There is a schedule set for the crons. If you find that the frequency is too short, you can change the frequency of crons in a crontab.xml file.
You need to know the cron's name and its instance.
You can refer following link for configure cron time.

I'm new to Laravel.here I'm set scheduler but how can I stop this scheduler on server ? possible or not in server ?
Just open the cron jobs in editor mode crontab -e and delete the line used for laravel
If you don't see the cron job set, check if it has been set by other user like from apache, or root or anyone else. In short you need to first figure out how the scheduler is currently running.
Last option: Comment out the scheduling code.
I am trying to execute an api in laravel every minute.
The api's method is GET. However I could not specify the method in the cron.yaml file. Could I use DELETE method here and how? The code should be deployed on google cloud.
I have created a cron.yaml file that has the following format:
cron:
- description: "every minutes job"
url: /deletestories
schedule: every 1 mins
retry_parameters:
min_backoff_seconds: 2.5
max_doublings: 5
I also created the api deletestories that delete rows under specific conditions.
However this isn't working, and when I open google cloud console I could not found any error or any cron job executed.
This cron.yaml file appears to be a Google App Engine cron configuration. If this is correct then only the GET method is supported, you cannot use DELETE.
The GAE cron service itself consists simply of scheduled GET requests that your app needs to handle. From Scheduling Tasks With Cron for Python (the same applies to other languages and to the flexible environment cron as well):
A cron job makes an HTTP GET request to a URL as scheduled. The
handler for that URL executes the logic when it is called.
You also need to deploy your cron.yaml file for it to be effective. You should be able to see the deployed cron configuration in the developer console's Cron Jobs tab under the Task Queues Menu (where you can also manually trigger any of the cron jobs). The performed GET requests for the respective cron jobs should appear in your app's request logs as well, when executed.
I am looking for a way to link an azure scheduler or web job to the Laravel schedule.
My understanding is, to set up an Azure schedule I would need an end point to link to my Laravel, which I am not sure how to achieve that.
TL;DR
You can use the WebJobs under WebApps with an commandline script to trigger the Laravel scheduler.
Full reference
Azure providers WebJobs that can fire various triggers including Cron-like schedulers. In order to run the Laravel scheduler you need to trigger the schedule:run command every minute. For now I'll assume artisan lives in D:\home\site\wwwroot\artisan which is the default location for PHP based deployments.
Create a new file called runsched.cmd or anything else als long as it has the .cmd extension. Edit the file with notepad and add:
php %HOME%\site\wwwroot\artisan schedule:run
Save the file and go to the Azure portal.
Select you WebApp and find WebJobs under the application settings. Click Add and a sidepanel will appear.
Give the WebJob a name, for example LaravelSchulder and upload the runsched.cmd file from the first step.
Set Type to Triggered and make sure Triggers is set to Scheduled.
Now you can specify how often the command must be triggered. Even the portal says 'CRON Expression' the cron format is not the same as the Linux notation. If you set the expression to all asterisks as shown in the Laravel documentation you're command will be triggered every second, which is way too often for most applications. The correct CRON Expression is:
0 * * * * *
If you're Job looks something like this click OK.
The Laravel scheduler will now be triggered every minute. To verify that everything is working correctly you can trigger the job once yourself (Select the LaravelSchulder job and click Run) and check the job status. If Azure reports Failed under status check the logs and make sure you've entered the correct paths'
Hope that explains it.
Quick note: Microsoft likes to change Azure Portal on a regular basis, so any of these instructions may have changed by now.
I have set up my cronjob for Magento to run every two hours, that is the quickest my host can set it to. However, newsletters don't get sent until I actually go into my host's control panel and click the 'Run' button for the particular cronjob.
What did I do wrong? My cron path is set as: /bin/sh /usr/www/users/FTP_USER/cron.sh
It is because the event observers are loaded based on the context (adminhtml,frontend or in your case crontab). The newsletter sending observer is not on the crontab list so it cannot send emails.
See this article: http://www.aschroder.com/2010/01/magento-events-explained-and-a-few-gotchas-avoided/
I imagine this is highly likely to be a permissions/PATH problem of one form or other. When you manually trigger the event by clicking something in the control panel, it is probably getting ran as the Apache user (www-data or equivalent, depending on the platform). The cron will most likely be running as a different user to this.
Assuming you're referring to the core newletters cron Mage_Newsletter_Model_Observer::scheduledSend, it's unlikely there's any problem with cwd being incorrect for relative include paths. This leaves the most likely culprits a.) the cron user doesn't have execute permissions on your cron.sh, b.) the cron user doesn't have access to the mail application on the server, because it isn't include in the users PATH.
In my experience the cron.sh script hasn't been up to it. Consequently I just run the cron.php . This requires php cli being setup properly with enough RAM and sensible timeouts.
In your crontab try:
* * * * * /usr/bin/php /home/USER/public_html/cron.php >> /home/USER/public_html/var/log/cron.log 2>&1
I also keep a log file in var/log/cron.php so that I can see errors made during a cron job.
