Description
Effortlessly define and manage cron jobs with execution URLs and WP-Shortcodes. The plugin monitors cron jobs, retries failed executions as needed, and sends status updates via email.
With « Cron Setup and Monitor – Get URL Cron » you can:
* Add, edit, and delete cron jobs to request HTTP URLs or WordPress shortcodes at defined times with various intervals.
* Verify the retrieved result by checking for a required string or JSON field to ensure the HTTP URL or shortcode request was successful.
* Retry the HTTP URL or shortcode request multiple times in case of failures.
* Display all cron jobs in the WordPress installation, including those independent of this plugin.
* Manually execute cron jobs.
* Log requests and show OK or FAIL status: The first log entry records what should happen (« try »). The second log entry shows the success of the request.
* Send emails for each HTTP URL or shortcode request, including the start of the attempt and the result of the request.
* Option to send emails only on failure.

How to Start a Job at a Defined Time?
-
When setting up a Cron job, you specify a « first run date and time » along with a recurrence interval. The plugin then calculates subsequent execution times starting from this « first run date and time » by adding the recurrence interval.
For example, if the « first run date and time » is set for today at 6:00 AM and the recurrence interval is 15 minutes, the Cron job will execute at 6:00 AM, 6:15 AM, 6:30 AM, and so on. -
