How to configure Magento 2 cron jobs

Overview

Magento 2 requires multiple cron jobs to initiate tasks such as reindexing, generating sitemaps, applying price rules, and other critical activities at a specified time or date interval.

Step by step instructions

Before proceeding, confirm the full server file system path to the file that you want to change is ready to run.

The following is an example of the path name: /home/user/domainname.com/html/file.extension.

1. Log in to your SiteWorx account.
   • If you do not know your password, click Forgot your password on the login page.

3. Click Simple Interface.
   

4. In the Add Cronjob panel, select Every 2 from the Minute drop-down list.
5. In the Script field, specify the binary php and the path to the Magento 2 crons found below, but replace /home/example/example.com/html/ with your specific path.
   

   

php /home/example/example.com/html/bin/magento cron:run
php /home/example/example.com/html/update/cron.php
php /home/example/example.com/html/bin/magento setup:cron:run

6. Click Add.
7. After clicking Add, the Cron Editor will show the new cron job.
