Configuring cron job

[robertbits]

Hi,

I have been having some issues with my hosting CPU Usage and after a lot of troubleshooting from me and the hosting company, they suggested that I will re-configure the cron jobs schedule.

I have 2 questions:

1. What is the function of these cron jobs?
   • php bin/magento cron:run
   • php update/cron.php
   • php bin/magento setup:cron:run
2. What are the ideal settings for cron jobs?

First of all thanks for your reply. But I still didn't understand exactly what each command does and what is the ideal timing of each of the cron job command should be.

I appreciate it if someone can give me an example

Hello,

I have solved the Configuring cron job problem:

Code to be implemented for cron job setup

Checkout this codes:

/usr/bin/php -c /[full path of magento root]/bin/magento cron::run >/dev/null 2>&1
/usr/bin/php -c /[full path of magento root]/update/cron.php >/dev/null 2>&1
/usr/bin/php -c /[full path of magento root]/bin/magento setup:cron:run >/dev/null 2>&1

we have set the cron job to run every 5 minutes.

Hope this helps,

Thank-You
