Cron Key

smcs

I have generated a Cron Key, what do I do with it? I read the documentation but it doesn't really state clearly to me what I am supposed to do with the key, any help would be appreciated. Thank you

Hi @smcs

You are referring to these docs here https://docs.itflow.org/cron#cron_scripts

php /full/path/to/cron.php [KEY]

Example of the cron job

php /var/www/itflow/cron.php AZF2245DH3445345FSGJHHKJBNZXA

smcs

So I just add the key to the filename?

Hi @smcs

You have to have your system cron run the following

* 0 * * * php /var/www/itflow/cron.php AZF2245DH3445345FSGJHHKJBNZXA >/dev/null 2>&1

replace with your path to cron.php and your key

Add that to your crontab and that will make sure it runs at midnight every night

and make sure you also add cronticketparse.php if you are going to use the mail integration here

* * * * * php /var/www/itflow/cronticketparse.php AZF2245DH3445345FSGJHHKJBNZXA >/dev/null 2>&1
