<p>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.</p>
<p>With “Cron Setup and Monitor – Get URL Cron” you can:<br />
* Add, edit, and delete cron jobs to request HTTP URLs or WordPress shortcodes at defined times with various intervals.<br />
* Verify the retrieved result by checking for a required string or JSON field to ensure the HTTP URL or shortcode request was successful.<br />
* Retry the HTTP URL or shortcode request multiple times in case of failures.<br />
*  Display all cron jobs in the WordPress installation, including those independent of this plugin.<br />
* Manually execute cron jobs.<br />
* 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.<br />
* Send emails for each HTTP URL or shortcode request, including the start of the attempt and the result of the request.<br />
* Option to send emails only on failure.</p>
<h4>Usage</h4>
<ol>
<li>Go to ‘Basic Settings’ in the plugin menu to set basic settings (like E-Mailadress for Statusmessages) </li>

<li>Store the defined CronJobs</li>
<li>Manually execute a Cronjob by clicking on “execute job”</li>
