How to set cron every one minute

[Easy5s.net]

Hello, i wan set cron every one minute in vbb Scheduled Task Manager?

[Lynne]

From the admin popup help page:

Set it to * to have it run every minute (not really recommended!).

What would be the purpose of running something every minute, what is it exactly you are trying to accomplish?

That is because they aren't cron tasks in the sense that they run at a given time without any other trigger. vB's scheduled tasks only run when someone visits your site. And they run in a given order, so your task won't run until all tasks ahead of it have been completed. This can take hours on some sites. So, all tasks can be delayed.

Yikes! running those scheduled tasks could lead to trouble with your host, if you are on a shared hosting plan you are only allowed 25 process if that, having something like this every minute will definitely make your host shut you down quick.

I use dedicated servers and I needed such a cron

It might take me some time but there is several posts here -- I think -- on how to use your OS to run cron jobs. I run my vb cron jobs via the OS, but my setup won't help you unfortunately.

Maybe someone else knows where these posts are. I put you on my backlog and will do a bit of research for you later.

Well, what is the cron job supposed to do? Are you using cPanel?

[Lynne]

Can you write an actual cron job to do what you want?
