wp cron only runs if logged into job page

I have to use alternate cron for my server, so I have a scheduled task to run wp-cron.php which activates the job correctly, automatically. However it seems to pause at creating archive until I physically log into wordpress and access the job page (8.02 is the time I logged into wordpress, where the process then continued):
