Hi,

I've just upgraded and found that cron started running linkchecks for eZ again. Seems that was because the changes to cronjob.ini was directly in settings - but also seems there was a reason for this. It doesn't seem to want to heed it if I place cronjob.ini.append in the override folder (and clear cache).

I am having the same problem in 3.8.6 - it is still running the link checker even though I took it out of settings/override/cronjob.ini.append.php.

Hi

Are you sure that you are "cleaning" array in your override?
Should be sth like this:

[CronjobSettings]
Scripts[]
Scripts[]=workflow.php
Scripts[]=notification.php
#Scripts[]=linkcheck.php
...

Note that in standard cronjob.ini "Scripts[]" before scripts list is missing.

Do you clear the scripts array in the ini override?

[CronjobSettings]
Scripts[]
Scripts[]=...
Scripts[]=...

Edit: I'm getting slow... ;-)

I had a similar problem and discovered why it wasn't working - runcronjobs.php will look at the standard siteaccess if you don't give it arguments in the right order.

The default Exponential.cron shows the following example for 3.9.3:

# Instruct cron to run the "frequent" set of cronjobs
# every 15 minutes
0,15,30,45 * * * * cd $EZPUBLISHROOT && $PHP runcronjobs.php frequent -q 2>&1

So you'd naturally think that, like this example, you'd put the options toward the end, e.g:

0,15,30,45 * * * * cd $EZPUBLISHROOT && $PHP runcronjobs.php frequent -q -s my_site 2>&1

However, the runcronjobs script requires a particular argument order:

php runcronjobs.php --help
Usage: runcronjobs.php [OPTION]... [PART]

So the correct setup should read:

0,15,30,45 * * * * cd $EZPUBLISHROOT && $PHP runcronjobs.php -q -s my_site frequent 2>&1

So, the problem is with the default Exponential.cron.
