    Updated 15 March 2024

    In this post, we will learn to set up cron on the server for Magento 2 cron. In Magento 2 development there are many configurations that need cron for the proper working of your Magento.

    Some of the tasks which are handled by cron in Magento 2 are:

    • Catalog price rules
    • Newsletters
    • Generating Google Sitemaps
    • Customer Alerts/Notifications
    • Reindexing
    • Automatic updating of currency rates

    Now we will be going to set up cron on the server.

    Run the following command from the terminal

    crontab -e

    If you are logged in as root user you can specify the cronjob for the Magento file system owner only by specifying the username by using the -u switch.

    When you hit the above command, editor option will appear select anyone in which you are comfortable with. In the editor enter the following cronjob.

    * * * * * <path to php binary> <magento install dir>/bin/magento cron:run

    In my case I have used the following command.

    * * * * * php /home/ayaz/www/html/mage2/bin/magento cron:run

    The server setup is complete. Note that the cronjob is configured to run every minute. The schedule can be adjusted as needed. To verify the cron setup, check the cron_schedule table in your Magento database for entries resembling the following.
