In this article, you will learn how to set up a cron job in Magento 2 via the Command Line. Setting the cron jobs is an essential part to ensure the proper functioning of your Magento 2 store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 1. Connect to Magento server using SSH<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Connect to the Magento server using SSH. Read details for Windows OS<\/a> or MAC OS or Linux OS<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 2. Find the PHP binary and php.ini path<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Once you’ve connected to the Magento server – find the PHP binary and php.ini path<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To discover the path to your PHP binary, please type the following command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>
which php<\/code><\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"Magento<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
A sample result will be as the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>
\/usr\/bin\/php<\/code><\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"Magento<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Step 3. Open the cron tab editor<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Execute the following command in order to edit the cron tab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>
crontab -e<\/code><\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"Magento<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
After this command has been performed – the cron tab editor will open.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"Magento<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Step 4. Copy the code to set up a cron job<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
To set up the cron jobs, paste the following lines of code:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>
* * * * * <path to php binary> <magento install dir>\/bin\/magento cron:run | grep -v \"Ran jobs by schedule\" >> <magento install dir>\/var\/log\/magento.cron.log\n* * * * * <path to php binary> <magento install dir>\/update\/cron.php >> <magento install dir>\/var\/log\/update.cron.log\n* * * * * <path to php binary> <magento install dir>\/bin\/magento setup:cron:run >> <magento install dir>\/var\/log\/setup.cron.log<\/code><\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n\n
where <path to php binary><\/strong> is the absolute file system path to your PHP binary, and <magento install dir><\/strong> is your Magento root folder. For example, \/var\/www\/mystore<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"Magento<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
This way your Magento 2 cron jobs should be up and running.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
