To Setup cronjob in Plesk 11, please follow the below instructions:
1. If you are subscribed to several hosting packages and have access to
several webspaces associated with your account, in the Subscription menu at
the top of the screen, please select the required webspace.
2. Go to the Websites & Domains tab > Scheduled Tasks (in the Advanced Operations
group).
3. Click Schedule New Task.
4. Leave the Switched on checkbox selected.
5. Specify when to run your command:
> Minute – enter the value from 0 to 59
> Hour – enter the value from 0 to 23
> Day of the month – enter the value from 1 to 31
> Month – enter the value from 1 to 12, or select the month from a drop-down box
> Day of the week – enter the value from 0 to 6 (0 for Sunday), or select the day of the
week from a menu.
You can schedule the time using the UNIX crontab entry format. In this format, you can:
Enter several values separated by commas. Two numbers separated by a hyphen
mean an inclusive range. For example, to run a task on the 4th, 5th, 6th, and 20th of a
month, type 4-6,20.
Insert an asterisk to specify all values allowed for this field. For example, to run a task
daily, type * in the Day of the month text box.
To schedule the task to run every Nth period, enter the combination */N, where N is a
value for this field (minute, hour, day, month). For example, */15 in the Minute field
schedules the task to start every 15 minutes. Scheduling Tasks 209
You can type the contracted names of months and days of the week, which are the first
three letters: Aug, Jul, Mon, Sat, and so on. However, the contracted names cannot be
separated with commas or used together with numbers.
6. Please specify which command to run. Type it into the Command input box.
For example, if you want to run the backup creation task at the specified time and have
the backup file sent to your e-mail, you need to specify the following command in the
Command input box:
/usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/backupmng
7. Click OK.
