Setup Cron Job in Oro Platform Application

Step 1: Add a cron for user nginx

Note I'm on Centos with Nginx web server. Open the crontab file in vi editor on behalf of the nginx user:

[kiat@reporting misoro]$ sudo -u nginx crontab -e
no crontab for nginx - using an empty one
crontab: installing new crontab

That will launch the vi editor.

Step 2: Editing the cron file in vi

Press Insert key.

Paste:

*/1 * * * * php /usr/share/nginx/html/misoro/bin/console oro:cron --env=prod > /dev/null

Notes:

1. that will schedule execution of the oro:cron command every-minute,
2. the root of the oro application is located in /usr/share/nginx/html/misoro.

Press Esc key.

Enter :wq to save and quite vi editor.

Step 3: Verify that it is registered:

[kiat@reporting misoro]$ sudo cat /var/spool/cron/nginx
*/1 * * * * php /usr/share/nginx/html/misoro/bin/console oro:cron --env=prod > /dev/null

Step 4: Restart cron service

[kiat@reporting misoro]$ sudo systemctl restart crond.service
