Cron job no more scheduled

Hi,

thank you for using my plugin.
Maybe it is like this:
The cronjobs are scheduled, but not executed.
If you havbe the plugin / cronjobs on a website with no or very few traffic, the cronjobs are not executed.
Wordpress-Cronjobs are executed when a request is done. This request can be a ordinary “get the start page” or whatever.
So if you have no traffic on the site, there will be no cronjob-executions.
IS this the case?

Hi, many thx for your answer but I’m not exactly in this case.
– There is traffic on my website
– The cron, after some days/weeks disappear from the list of cron to be executed
On the admin page GetUrlCron->Show Cronjobs:
I see my cron scheduled every 30min, it is executed during some day/weeks and then it does not appear any more in the list, whereas a second cron (executed once a day) is working since november 2021

So the problem is not that only that cron is not executed, but in addition it is no more scheduled. Each time this happens I need to re-set a start date in the future to make it work again.

Hope I’m clear enough ..

Would it be a way to run it in a kind of debug mode to check what happened ?

Thx.

Uhhh I’m just thinking to something.
What happens when a job execution fails as much as retries defined ?
Would it be removed from scheduled jobs ?

<<What happens when a job execution fails as much as retries defined ?

no

what’s in the cronjob: a shortcode or an URL?
is there something in the plugins logfiles?

Bernhard

The cron is an url to a php script that connect to a database to do a check and send an email depending on some condition.
In the logfiles I see sometimes that the execution has failed.
I have set a spie in my script to log each execution in the way to detect exactly when it stops.
I’ll come back to you as soos as I have more informations.
Thank you.

So now I observe that my crons stop just after a kind of double execution.
I explain:
Normal cron execution result in the following lines in log :
– try
– OK

The last execution before it stops (disappear from schedule)
– try
– try
– OK
– OK

It seems there is a doublon (date is the same for both try and OK) and then it stops

I re-schedule it and check in the next day to be sure it happens the same.
To be continued

Another thing I have noticed is that the cron that never dies is configured to retry one time whereas the one that stops is configured to retry twice … don’t know if there could be any relation …

Hello I come back to say that the problem still occur, I a see a double execution and then no more scheduled …
The cron stopped on march the 30th, on april the 30th and on may the 5th …
I really don’t understand why.
I’m afraid I will have to switch to another plugin …
Thx you for all anyway.

Hi,

ok, try another plugin. I confess: I don’t know how to help you here.
