Cron job only every 10 minutes?!

[imc67]

I just installed and explored EspoCRM and it looks promising!

After configuring in/out going groupbox I noticed emails didn't fetch. Looking at the jobs they are only processed once every 10 minutes. EspoCRM advises to use a minute cron but the app is configured at every 10 minutes.

Is it possible to change this to 1 minute otherwise one had to wait too long for emails to be fetched?

Take a look at https://YOURESPOCRM.DOMAIN/#ScheduledJob See https://docs.espocrm.com/administration/jobs/#scheduled-jobs for documentation.

@subven yes but that doesn't change the "main" cron (from the app manifest):

"scheduler": {
      "jobs": {
        "schedule": "*/10 * * * *",
        "command": "/usr/local/bin/gosu www-data:www-data php /app/code/current/cron.php"
      }

I see, not sure why the 10min were configured if upstream recommends 1 minute. @girish do you know if this was intentional or just a guess?

This would actually explain a whole class of strange behavior I've seen with jobs getting backlogged when running more frequently than 10min.

@imc67 said in Cron job only every 10 minutes?!:

Hmm he seems to be right. The docs suggest to run the main cron (manager) every minute. This than starts all other crons (called "jobs" as you can read from the link I posted in the second post above) according to their settings. Maybe it was good to take a look at this

@subven the current way of working means sending an email takes up to 20 minutes:

Minute 1: click send
Minute 10: “main” cron creates a schedule for sending
Minute 20: that schedule is executed (also if it had a 1 minute interval)

@subven right, changing to 1min make sense.

New package coming up.
