Crontab usage with CBSubs? was created by Vorak

Hello,

As I'm wrapping up my old server now that my website has moved to a new server, I noticed that there are two Crontabs set up especially for CBSubs:

(URL & key removed by me)

Code:

/usr/bin/wget -O/dev/null "**URL**/index.php?option=com_comprofiler&task=pluginclass&plugin=cbpaidsubscriptions&cbpact=cbsubsclass&cbpclass=mailer&user=62&cbpmailerdo=processmailerrules&key=**key**&format=raw"

Code:

/usr/bin/wget -O/dev/null "**URL**/index.php?option=com_comprofiler&task=pluginclass&plugin=cbpaidsubscriptions&cbpact=cbsubsclass&cbpclass=mailer&user=62&cbpmailerdo=sendmailqueue&key=**key**&format=raw"

Are these still required, or is this something outdated from an older version? Just so I know if I should set them up again on the new server or not.

Thanks

Those CRON are triggering your CBSubs Mailer emails. Yes, they're still needed if you're using CBSubs Mailer. You should actually have another triggering expiration's in CBSubs. See CBSubs > Settings > Global for expiration CRON URL.

Apparently, I have the setting in there set to "front-end and admin accesses". And for as far as I know, subscriptions are expiring when they are supposed to. It's not like my website has thousands of subscriptions anyway. So I don't think I need to change that setting there or add a cron for it?

The other two I have now added on the new server.

You don't have to use the CRON if your site is active enough to trigger expiration's basically once a day. It's entirely up to you as you can free up resources by disabling that check and just letting CRON do it once a day. Whatever works best for you.
