Does anyone have modernbill runnign with cronjobs?

Is it simple?

Do I have to fiddle with stuff on cpanel I saw there was a tab for Cron Jobs.

Thanks

It's simple, assuming you read the manual, and know how to set up a cron job. Shouldn't take you more than 5-10 minutes tops.

With the newer versions of MB, you're just setting up the master cron job to run every 5 or 10 minutes. What you saw was the Cron Manager most likely, which lets you set the options for additional cron jobs that can be run.

The only Cron job you need to concern yourself with is the master job, that dispatches to the rest of them.

It doesn't take more then 5 minutes, just go to CPanel and click on the Cron and add what they tell you to and your done...

I used ot use ModernBill but the owned license is just far too expensive to me... So if your looking for another billing system and have WHM/CPanel I advise you to take a look at WHM Auto Pilot, they are gonna release the v2 soon and I would buy a license BEFORE that because they may raise the prices...

I love modernbill I will try to to the cron thing!

Thanks a lot guys

The cron setup is simple.

3-58/5 * * * * /path/to/php -q -f /path/to/mb/include/scripts/cron_dispatch.cron.php /path/to/mb/ cron

That is the cron you need to run (assuming you have a newer version of MB).

Then, after that you just need to setup MB itself to use the cron in the automation part of MB.

I am using Cpanel and it has like the space for you to add the minutes, hour

is it the same thing?

Also there is this thing about first cron job where you have to go to the SSH thing..

Put 3-58/5 in the minute box, then * in the hour,day,month,weekday boxes. In the command box, put /path/to/php -q -f /path/to/mb/include/scripts/cron_dispatch.cron.php /path/to/mb/ cron

I am assuming it is just showing you how to set up the cron job through SSH instead of cpanel since not everyone has cpanel.

Thanks guys. This was the last bit of my MB installation to get set up, and I read the manual, but it's olddddd.... I wasn't sure which bit of what was accurate, or not. ;)

You can just set it up through the cron job page in cpanel.

What version of Modernbill are you running?

If you are using 4.2+ Cron Jobs are very easy to setup with cPanel. Takes about 2-3 minutes tops.
