Hi there - how do I make sure that Mainwp does all my updates outside of business hours. Clients are complaining the sometimes the site is down for over 20 minutes at inconvenient times.

Is there a cron which I can set maybe?

Thanks

Hi @247webmaster,

Have you tried to disable the WP Cron usage in MainWP Settings and create custom cron jobs on your cPanel and set the time to run the cron jobs?

Figured that would do it but need the syntax please for the different updates

Thanks

HI - Any chance of getting the cron syntax for only doing plugin updates after a specific time of the day?

Thanks very much

Hi Mal, if you check here, you can find instructions about creating custom Cron jobs in cPanel.

Sorry, not expressing myself well.

I need to know the names of the php files to execute via the control panel cron.

Thanks

MainWP Dashboard Cron Jobs

Cron: every 15 minute: (crontab schedule: */15 * * * *)

Check for available updates

wget -O /dev/null http://yourdashboard.com/wp-content/plugins/mainwp/cron/updatescheck.php > /dev/null 2>&1

Ping each child site to make sure it is still active and connected to your dashboard
