Cron Jobs repeating the same task at the same time.

[mark_condello]

Hi Magento Forum,

I have set up a crontab with SSH and am noticing that the jobs are getting piled up and are in excess of 1000 rows in the cron_schedule table. See the screenshot below:

We are running Magento 2.2.8 with PHP 7.1

This is obviously putting more load on the server and after checking a 2.1.7 instance, noticed that only a few hundred rows are being created instead.

Does anyone know why this is occurring and if there is a fix for it? I found this thread which points to the same issue but no solutions worked.

Hi @Sunil Patel ,

There are no instructions to install the module.

I assume it is loaded in the app directory. But I'm not sure about the namespace it requires. Sorry, not a Magento dev.

Is it:
app/code/MageMojo/Cron

Hello @mark_condello 

composer require magemojo/m2-ce-cron
php bin/magento module:enable MageMojo_Cron
php bin/magento setup:upgrade
php bin/magento setup:di:compile
php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy

There is already mention into that page
