[Action Streams] Configuring scheduled tasks

Vote 0 Votes

Still no luck getting my cron tab thingy to work as the action stream output is still stuck on what it was when i first put it up. This is what I've got (on Dreamhost btw):

0 * * * * /usr/local/bin/perl /home/mennoboy.com/mt4/mt/tools/run-periodic-tasks

Any help?

  • On dreamhost did you try the (GOODIES > CRON JOBS) panel page to setup? When I was on dreamhost it worked great for me.

  • This is documented here, but to summarize, you need to first either:

    * set your working directory to the MT_HOME directory
    * set your MT_HOME environment variable accordingly

    So let me recommend you setup your cron like this:

    0 * * * * cd /home/mennoboy.com/mt4/mt; /usr/local/bin/perl ./tools/run-periodic-tasks

  • I'm seeing the same issue. The difference being that when running with -verbose, I get this:

    TheSchwartz::work_once found no jobs

  • It is possible that no work is scheduled to be done. Action Streams only performs its syncing operation once every 30 minutes. Therefore, you may need to wait before trying again.

    I have overridden this behavior by editing the `tasks` plugin config option in Action Streams' `config.yaml` file. I changed the 1800 to 1.

If you need to share template code, replace all the "<" signs with "&lt;" or use this utility.
