Setting up cron jobs

To configure the necessary cron jobs for your chat room script, please follow these steps:

  1. Access the Admin dashboard of your chat room script.
  2. Navigate to the "Maintenance" section.
  3. In this section, you will find the option to set up the cron jobs. These jobs are responsible for performing automated tasks at specified intervals to keep your chat room running smoothly.
  4. As the configuration of cron jobs varies between hosting providers, it's important to note that we cannot provide specific instructions for each provider. However, we have prepared a set of example commands that you can adapt to your hosting environment.

Here are some example commands that you can use as a reference when setting up the cron jobs:

wget command:
wget https://mywebsite.com/cron/delete-guests
wget https://mywebsite.com/cron/delete-guests > /dev/null
wget -q -O - https://mywebsite.com/cron/delete-guests >/dev/null 2>&1

curl command:
curl -s "https://mywebsite.com/cron/delete-guests" > /dev/null

These commands will trigger the specified URLs (in this case, https://mywebsite.com/cron/delete-guests) at the desired intervals to perform the necessary maintenance tasks.

We recommend reaching out to your hosting service provider for assistance in setting up the cron jobs on your specific server configuration. They will be able to provide you with detailed instructions or guide you through the process of configuring cron jobs.
