Cron setup

To periodically run the checks, you need to set up a cron on your system. Just like you already did for the WHMCS crons. On Linux you could add something like this:

*/30 * * * * php -f /path/to/your/whmcs/crons/monitoring.php > /dev/null

To run the cron every 30 minutes for example.

In case you set a low maximum batch per cron run in the configuration, you might want to run the cron more often. It's up to you.

Please make sure to use the CLI binary for your PHP version.

For PHP 8.3 for example, that would be /usr/local/bin/ea-php83

It might also be useful to specify the binary as an attribute, so the cron could look like so:

*/30 * * * * /usr/local/bin/ea-php83 -f /path/to/your/whmcs/crons/monitoring.php -- --php-bin=/usr/local/bin/ea-php83 > /dev/null
