Setting Up Cron Jobs

We recommend you run the cron once per day to avoid your customers receiving duplicate emails for overdue notices etc. The following information will aid you in setting up your Admin cron (invoice generation etc) on different Control Panels and environments.

The examples below will setup the cron to run at 9am every day.

cPanel

Click on the Cron Job link in cPanel and then click the Advanced (Unix Style) button.

cPanel Cron
Option Minute Hour Day Month Weekday Command
a) 0 9 * * * php -q /path/to/home/public_html/whmcspath/adminpath/cron.php
b) 0 9 * * * wget -O http://www.yourdomain.com/whmcspath/adminpath/cron.php >/dev/null
c) 0 9 * * * get http://www.yourdomain.com/whmcspath/adminpath/cron.php

Direct Admin

Windows Server

Depending on your server setup, you can run the cron directly from the php executable. If this is not possible, you would need to use the server browser to run the cron

An example command to run is:

Command
C:\php\php.exe -q "C:\inetpub\wwwroot\whmcs7\admin\cron.php"
"c:\program files\internet explorer\iexplore.php" "http://www.yourdomain.com/whmcspath/cron.php"

You should then set the task to run at a certain time every day. The time is up to you.
