<h4>Cronjob Scheduler</h4>
Cronjob Scheduler allows you to create custom WordPress tasks that are automatically triggered on a schedule you define. 
Cronjob Scheduler does not overwrite WordPress’s existing scheduling functionality, which it and plugins use for a number of internal tasks. 
Instead, it simply replaces the standard WordPress mechanism which triggers them with a more reliable one from your operating system. 
In addition, it helps improve your site speed by making the server handle recurring tasks, rather than unsuspecting visitors…
The motivation behind building this plugin was out of frustration with other similar plugins that claim to do the same thing.
Cronjob Scheduler allows you to run frequent tasks reliably and timely without anyone having to visit your site at all. All you need is at least 1 action and a Unix Crontab schedule!
<h4>About</h4>
This plugin was designed and built by Motocom. It is designed to make easy work of creating and managing custom cron jobs. If this plugin has been helpful for you, then please donate to keep our WordPress plugin projects running!

Cronjob Scheduler

I was in need of this while debugging some the WordPress cron. Thanks for making it easier.



Perfect plugin

We have used this plugin in several of our project lately to manage the cron jobs running.
Instead of writing all the code to manage this manually we use this plugin and it works beautifully. Recommended!

This plugin enables using WordPress as a cron system that would hit external URLs (ie. any URL) on a scheduled basis. User can submit URL and interval in which that URL should be opened by WordPress.
This can be used, for example, for other WordPress sites that are on hosts that don’t have native cron system or where it’s complicated to set it up. For that cases, URL should be in format <code>http://example.com/wp-cron.php</code> and there should be constant <code>DISABLE_WP_CRON</code> in <code>wp-config.php</code> file to avoid running WordPress own pseudo cron: 
 define(‘DISABLE_WP_CRON’, true);
It’s recommended to setup a real cron for the site where this plugin is installed, with interval that is the lowest one from settings. Follow WordPress specific advises from above, and check links from <a href="http://blog.milandinic.com/wordpress/plugins/run-external-crons/" rel="nofollow ugc">plugin’s page</a> on how to set up this.
If you are translator, you can translate this plugin to your language and send translations to plugin’s author.
