How to set up cron job, what is the command?

edited January 2016 in Using Sendy

I am trying to set up a cron job because my e-mails are not sending because of server memory issues. I have done a search about the php script here on the forum and it is not clear to me. Ben wrote that the script is scheduled.php.

But in my server which I use hostmonster.com I need to put a command there. Also, does the cron needs to run every minute? I think this will overload the server.

Please let me know how to set this up. Thanks!

  • Hi,

    Cron job setup instructions appears in Sendy where appropriate:

    1. When you are at the ‘Define recipients’ page and you will see the cron job setup instructions note in a blue box at the bottom (screenshot ? http://d.pr/i/17Opl)

    2. When you attempt to setup an Autoresponder for the first time for any list, clicking on the 'Autoresponders' button at the top right of any 'list' page, you'll be shown the cron job setup instructions (screenshot ? http://d.pr/i/ESxY)

    3. When you're at the import CSV page, you'll see the cron job setup instructions note in a blue box (screenshot ? http://d.pr/i/r44z)

    For your case, please see #1 above. Follow the cron job setup instructions to setup your cron job for sending/scheduling.

    Thanks.

    Best regards,
    Ben
