The system cron does not appear to have completed successfully within the last 24 hours.

I moved my crons dir up one directory non-public , but keep getting this error in the system health section.

My config has the path:

$crons_dir = '/home/username/crons/'; #Username was replaced with the username.

And in the crons dir I have the file config.php with the variable whmcspath pointing to the path of the whmcs install; My cron is setup firing 0 5 * * * php -q /home/username/crons/cron.php

(replaced username with proper user)

Any ideas why I keep getting this message in system health? This is latest version 7.1.0. (release.1)

Because they haven't run

login as ssh and run the cron manually as your user. That should tell you what the problem is

Thanks, I shouldn't have to use the 'cron.php all -F' to force the daily job right? or just as i have it in the definition:

0 5 * * * php -q /home/username/crons/cron.php

To see what is going on, via SSH run: php /home/username/crons/cron.php -vvv

The daily job will be run provided the cronjob is run at regular intervals.. WHMCS recommends once every 5 mins.

Hey fireupjb,

Did you get any response from running the -vvv after the cron

Hi Chris D.,

I have the same issue/ message that the daily system cron did not execute as expected.

My Health Status Summary says that the system cron has completed successfully within the last 24 hours and I do receive an email that all cron automation tasks have completed successfully. Automation settings show cron status ok. However, I also receive another email saying that the daily system cron did not execute as expected - WHMCS Daily System Cron Attention Needed.

I did set the cron job to run every hour and I've increased my maximum execution time and memory limit.

When running the cron manually via SSH, I get the following:

Executing Application Queue:

0/1

Ticket escalation rule

1/1

Executing System Queue:

No tasks to execute in queue.

(OK) complete

Followed by several ‘command not found’ entries.

I'm running out of ideas. Is the cron executing or not and why do I get mixed reports?

Thanks for your help.

You should probably post about it in the beta testing forum then. It's here: https://forum.whmcs.com/forumdisplay.php?154-Beta-Discussion

add this to the cron after /cron.php

skip --TicketEscalations >/dev/null 2>&1
