Help with CRON job [Solved] | Forum

Hy, can anyone help me with cron job. DId i done everything well? The problem is don`tn really know if it works. In this forum http://www.oxwall.org/forum/topic/16558 Oxwall Software write that:

System "offlines" user right away if he logs out using "log out" button.
If user just closes the browser, system will log him out after 30 minutes. This is controlled by core platform in ow_system_plugins/base/bol/user_service.php:method - deleteExpiredOnlineUsers.
Since "offlining" users is connected to Cron, you will need to make sure that it is configured properly on your server.

But the problem is that if members dont loggout in my site they are showin still online. ( in profile and 'users' page)

At a quick glance it looks like you have your Cron Jobs set for every six (6) hours. That's probably the reason.

Kostia Mar 28 '14

but after 24 hour users is still showing online,, i dont know if i am doing something wrong.

My steps:

1. install oxwall

2. Then it shows me that i need configure cron, but i push next button, and everything works well.

3. I havent made any changes in cron.php file or somewhere..just these. My server admins told me that i should contact developers.

For users without Cron knowledge, using webcron service like easycron.com is a good alternative.

There is a tutorial at http://www.easycron.com/tutorials/how-to-set-up-cron-job-for-oxwall, may be help you set cron job.

Kostia, do you have a notification in the admin panel that you need to configure your cron jobs? Do you get e-mail notifications? Can you send mass mail?

Kostia Apr 1 '14

no, there is no notification in admin panel (added img). I try to send mass mail and it shows that i did it but i dont get any email.

Kostia are those mail gone in ow_base_mail table? If not then you cron is not properly configured, which is why you have those members online.

Well, that means your cron is not properly configured. contact your hosting company to get the right command to use.
