Hi,
What's the difference between the time set up in the cronjob and the check time interval? Do they have to agree? Or do they effect each other in any way? I have a cronjob set up to run every hour and the checktime is set to 5. This is for the remote publishing option.
Thanks
CL
Hello,

Hm, not too sure about the "check time". Is this from your hosting panel? Perhaps you might want to ask them what is that? If you are setting the cronjob to execute every hour, it's a little too long I am afraid and you might get some delays in receiving e-mails. The sweet spot would be somewhere within 10 - 15 minutes. It should be longer if your hosting connection is slow in connecting to the mail server.

The check time is on the Remote Publishing tab in Settings in Easy Blog.

Hello,

Ah, okay that check time is actually to prolong the cronjob. What happens when you pull the RSS feed is that the server has to make an outgoing connection to the RSS feed URL and depending on your server's speed to the RSS server (We can't really give an answer for this because it varies from different hosting company to other hosting company). Hence, the check delay time is to avoid overlapping of importing of RSS feeds.

So if I have the cron job set to run every 5 minutes, and the check delay time is set to 5 also, it's actually every 10 minutes that I can expect the cron job to actually run?
Thanks for explaining this!
