My web host doesn't support scheduled tasks (cron) Print

Note: the terms scheduled task, cron, and crontab are often used interchangeably.

If your web host does not support configuring scheduled tasks, you may use one of the free "cron" services available on the internet. Here are a couple that some of our users have found:

During the task configuration, you will be asked to provide a URL to the script that you would like to run. Enter: http://www.your.site.com/thyme/jobs.php.

You will also be asked for an interval at which to run the script. Choose to run the script every 10 minutes. If this option is not available, please choose the smallest interval available.

Once the scheduled task is set to run, you must tell Thyme the interval at which it runs. You may do this by logging into Thyme as an admin and navigating to Admin -> Site Settings -> Scheduled Task


Update the The Thyme scheduled task is configured to run every setting to the interval chosen in the cron service's configuration and click Save.

Scheduled tasks are now configured.
