Bulk Mail

(gja) #1

Hi,

 

I'm attempting to get a "Bulkmail Job" to run on a schedule.  So far the state is stuck in "Waiting To Run"

 

I have managed to get it to send a preview email ok, so I know that there is content to send.

 

Under System management I can see, Queue Scheduled Bulkmail Scheduled Job, and it looks like it should run every 15mins like all the other scheduled jobs.

The system log is showing:

[cron.job.success - ] (Queue Scheduled Bulkmail Scheduled Job Success) - Queue Scheduled Bulkmail Job
Scheduled : Every time the Scheduled Jobs Manager runs
Completed Successfully

Error Messages :

Nil

This all suggests that it should be working as expected. 

 

A search of the forums and manuals suggests that I the crontab needs to have 2 entries for the Bulkmail Job Scheduling aspect to work

*/15 * * * * php /path_to_matrix/core/cron/run.php

and

*/15 * * * * php /path_to_matrix/packages/bulkmail/run.php

 

Is this correct?  Currently we have only the first item in the crontab.

We are on ver 5.1.5

 

Thanks Georgina.

Correct. You need that second line in order for the bulkmail cron to run.
