How to configure cron job?

[Joselyne]

Hello,

Email reporting is working when I execute the script via web.
How can I set a cronjob/scheduled job for "/my MantisBT path/plugins/EmailReporting/scripts/bug_report_mail.php"
I'm using Windows OS and would like the script to be executed every 5 minutes?

Thanks

Please provide a screenshot of the result you're seeing
Linux or Windows?
Which version of the above?
Please provide the exact commandline you're trying. Try it in cmd before adding it to a scheduled task.

Hi,

I read in this forum the way the script is written and i have tried it:

Created a ".sh" file in which i put the two lines:

# !/bin/bash
/path/to/php/bin/php /path/to/plugins/EmailReporting/scripts/bug_report_mail.php

where /path/to/php/bin/php is C:\xampp\php\php.exe and defined the 2nd path.

But when I execute the file, it seems to open the file containing the lines and ask how I want to open the file (see file in attachment), not giving the output as desired.

Do you have an idea?

I'm on Windows Server 2022 Standard

Thanks

On windows you cannot wotk with a sh file. You need to make a bat- or cmd- file

Thanks.
I have changed the extension and that works fine.
