How to set up the Blesta cron job for automated tasks

Once installation is complete, a cron job must be created to automate tasks within Blesta.

If you are setting up the cron job for the first time, you can click the Configure link in the System Status section of the home page.

Otherwise, click the Settings link at the top of the page.

Click the System tab.

Then click Automation. Click to copy the cron command to your clipboard.

Next, open your hosting control panel. In this demo, we’re using cPanel.

Click the Cron Jobs icon.

In the Add, a New Cron Job section, select the cron to run Every 5 minutes.

Then paste the cron command you copied.

Note: You can delete the prefix that defines the cron to run every 5 minutes since you’ve already entered that in the common settings.

Then click Add New Cron Job.

That’s it! Now return to the Blesta System Settings page.

After no more than 5 minutes, we can verify that the cron has indeed run.

This is the end of the tutorial. You now know how to set up your cron job for automated tasks in Blesta.
