Using Cortab on Cloud Server

This guide details the use of Crontab (crons via SSH), available only on Cloud Server, by default (there is also a task planner for all accommodation).

Prerequisites

The script files called by the cron must be executable (CHMOD).

Full path

Cron tasks are not aware of the absolute path (path). Calling PHP without specifying the complete paths to the executable makes it impossible to perform the task.

You have to specify

/opt/phpX.X/bin/php

replacing X.X by the desired PHP version (/opt/php7.1/bin/php e.g.).

Other operations

List the crons of the SSH user in question:
```
crontab -l -u NomUtilisateurSSH
```
Edit the crons:
```
crontab -e -u NomUtilisateurSSH
```
Be notified by email of the result of your cron tasks (to be added at the beginning of the file):
```
MAILTO=e-mail@domain.xyz
```

Restore Backup

Infomaniak saves the crons of the last 7 days (once a day). In the event of accidental suppression, contact Infomaniak support to request a restoration by specifying the time and date of erasure.
