==Setting up the System Cron Job for Magneto==

Now that you have Magento installed, you will notice that in your html directory are to files called [cron.php] and [cron.sh].

These two files do the same process - activate the Magento internal cron.

Of the two, the one I have found to work the best is cron.php

By default cron.sh pulls or runs cron.php, so lets just take a step out of the process.

To setup your cron from the command line, you would run

crontab -e

Then insert the cron to run every 5 mins, default suggested by Magento

*/5 * * * * /usr/bin/php -f /the/path/to/cron.php

You can also use the cron.sh file

*/5 * * * * /bin/bash -f /the/path/to/cron.sh

===Now check and make sure the cron is running as scheduled===

Now that you have setup the system you can check to make sure its working.

tail -f /var/log/cron | grep 'cron'
