How to define regular cron jobs

You can run regular cron jobs on your freistilbox cluster’s shell host. Log in via SSH and and create the crontab as explained below.

Log in to a site’s SSH account:

ssh s123@c23s.freistilbox.net

Run the crontab command to edit this user’s crontab:

crontab -e

For example, to invoke drush cron every 10 minutes, add a line like this:

*/10 * * * * /usr/local/bin/drush -r ~/current/docroot cron > /dev/null 2>&1

(The part starting with > makes cron discard any output of the drush command.)

See the Ubuntu Cron Howto for more details.
