Scheduled tasks

A site can run commands on a schedule, like cron: every 5 or 15 minutes, every hour, every day or every Sunday.

Add a task

On the site's page, under Scheduled tasks, select Add task, choose when it runs and type the command, for example:

php private/app/artisan schedule:run

Times are in UTC. The panel shows each task's next run in UTC and in your own time.

How a task runs

• As the site's own user, in the site's folder, with /bin/sh.
• In a sandbox: it can only write to the site's own folders, and can't gain more rights.
• With limits: half a CPU, 512 MB of memory, and one hour per run. A run that's still going when the next one is due is not started twice.
• Every process it starts ends with the run.

The panel shows the last runs, whether they worked, and their output. Turning a task off stops a run that's still going.
