Schedule cron jobs

Cron runs commands on a schedule — for backups, Laravel's scheduler, cleanup tasks and more. SoftServer manages cron jobs from the panel.

Add a cron job

1. Open your server and go to the Cron section. If cron is not set up, the panel installs it.
2. Add a job: enter the command to run and the schedule (minute, hour, day, and so on).
3. Save. The job runs automatically at the times you set.

Common examples

• Laravel scheduler: run php artisan schedule:run every minute.
• Nightly cleanup or report scripts.
• Periodic cache warming.

Manage jobs

View your existing cron jobs and delete ones you no longer need from the same section. Combine cron with background workers for apps that need both scheduled and continuous processing.
