How to Configure When the WHMCS Cron Runs<\/h1>\n
\n
\n

The WHMCS cron job performs many of the automated tasks for your WHMCS<\/a> installation. You can customize when and how often it runs in your WHMCS installation configuration.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

You must configure your hosting control panel to run the cron job at least once during the\u00a0Time of Day\u00a0<\/strong>hour you specify in WHMCS (for example, in the example below the cron job must run at least once between 9:00am and 10:00am). If it does not, the cron tasks will not execute.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

We recommend a frequency of every five minutes. For more information, see\u00a0Crons<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

To set the time at which the cron runs:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. In the Admin Area, go to\u00a0Configuration > System Settings > Automation Settings<\/strong>, or, prior to WHMCS 8.0,\u00a0Setup > Automation Settings<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
  2. For\u00a0Time of Day<\/strong>, choose the time at which to run the cron.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

    The tasks will execute the first time that the server invokes the cron job during the specified hour.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
