For egw to use cron / crontab, the cron daemon must be running first.
Egw uses asynchronous timed services, which is in admin.

I think it’s time to check if cron is actually installed.

Hi - Okay, I asked tech support about this, and here’s what they said:
"I can help you with this. Cron is known as a daemon, or a program that
runs in the background automatically doing something. In this case, it
looks for commands to run (I think once per minute) and runs them. The
way you tell it what to run for you is by storing those commands in a
crontab file. The only way to do that is to run the crontab command from
the shell like this:
crontab -e
(-e is for “edit”)
When you run that command, it’ll start up a text editor so you can enter
the commands you want it to run. This is the important part-when you’re
done editing that file, do not change the name. Simply save it and quit
the editor. The crontab program will check the file for errors, and if
none are found, it will update the crontab file to add your command(s).
If there’s an error, it won’t make the changes and you’ll have to try
again. I’m sorry if this process is a bit arcane, but the crontab can’t
be edited directly. "
Okay - so now my question is what do I need to do to make this work
with EGW?! I’m still confused!
Thanks again,
Jacki
