  • 1.  CA SAM Cron Interval

    Posted Jan 13, 2017 07:42 PM

    In SAM, when looking at the cron jobs in Admin, where does the interval count from?  If the interval is 60 minutes will it run every hour on the hour, 60 minutes after it last started, or 60 minutes after it last completed?

    The interval will start counting when the job last started.

     

    Please note that the cron master job (the Windows scheduled task calling cron_master.php) will also affect how often the runs.

     

    For example, if you have a job with interval set to 1 minute but your cron master task is scheduled to run every 5 minutes, this means 5 minutes is the minimum interval for the task to run automatically.
