upgrade from 2.02 to 2.03 cron issues

[DanBrad01]

i'm having trouble getting the magento crons setup so that i can get the readiness check to run for upgrading.

i get the below error:

i've setup crons in my plesk panel as below all with root level permission.

cron 1 and 3 seem to run without error but when cron 2 runs i get this error:

i think its this that is causing the readiness check to fail? any suggestions?

Bug: Magento 2 checks the «.update_cronjob_status» file but never generates it so the «Cron script readiness check» will always fail on a Magento 2 upgrade (and my fix) https://mage2.pro/t/1125

hi thanks for your reply, i've tried your solution and it still runs the check and show the same error. do you know if it is caching the environment.php file somewhere or should it take immediate affect?
