Setting up a cron job for the Snapshot add-on?

Quote:

Changed $fw->reportAlways to true. Still no eMail when run from admin, and the cron eMail still produces only:

Lets step back a little:

Running snapshot from admin will do an instant scan of your site. And not generate a email.

When running snapshot_cron it is nothing more then running snapshot with a system scheduler. The difference is snapshot_cron will not output any info to your browser/screen. Any and all info will be placed in a email and sent to you.

So if you setup the cron to run every 30min and you have set reportAlways to true in snapshot_cron.php you will get an email 10:00pm and 10:30pm etc.

If you do not get a email.
1. The email is going to a accessible email address?
2. The cron command is not setup correctly.

Try adding -q example:

0,30 * * * * php -q /home/site162/public_html/admin/backups/snapshot/snapshot_cron.php >/dev/null 2>&1

You should ask your hosting company to setup the cron for you.
Because there are tons of ways to call a php script. What I have shown you is a common cron call.
Some servers require the path to php itself.
