Cronjob Scheduler jobs show dates in the past
-
Hi Chris,
We’re noticing that the Cronjob Scheduler shows dates in the past for the next run on all cron jobs. The dates are from around a month ago on most jobs but they appear to be stuck at the time the cron job was last created. A manual run is always successful so far as we can tell. I’ve added the requested line to root’s crontab:
* * * * * wget -qO- “https://10.100.0.50/wp-cron.php?doing_wp_cron” &>/dev/null
although it should be noted the above ip is the internal ip of the server itself. Users connect to it on a NATted ip along the lines of:
10.200.0.75
The timezone settings are for New York although I previously had it at UTC -4. /var/log/cron shows the jobs running every minute as expected.
Thanks

I’ve changed crontab to:
* * * * * wget -qO- “https://10.100.0.50/wp-cron.php?doing_wp_cron” &>>/root/cron_wpcronjob
Which appears to run under:
/var/log/cron
but doesn’t produce output. Manually running the wget command creates the expected cron_wpcronjob file but this is the output:
-bash: anaconda-ks.cfg: command not found
So it appears my formatting for the cronjob bash command is wrong. Suggestions welcome
Yeah, I just found another thread posting that using an absolute path may fix the issue. However, no dice. Then it occurred to me that wget’s q switch is suppressing the output and in theory, the o switch’s logging output. Ran the command manually without the q option and found that wget fails because it doesn’t like the self-signed certificate we’re using. Added:
–no-check-certificate
There are two dashes before “no” in the above blockquote.
option to the crontab and all times were up-to-date. For those of you running uBlock Origin plugin or similar adblocker, disable it for this site. Otherwise, you won’t necessarily see the cronjob timestamps updating on the WordPress site. Everything looks good so I’ll mark as resolved and open (edit?) another thread if need be. Thanks for the help Chris!
