FAQ's @ CronService.co.uk

Here's a list of some of the most frequently asked questions at CronService.co.uk.

1. Why did my job not run when it was scheduled?

Why did my job not run when it was scheduled?
The most common reasons a script will not run as scheduled is due to script errors or timeout issues. Make sure you use the 'Test' link when you schedule a job just to make sure the script is working properly and that you have typed the url correctly.

Also if a script takes longer than 40 mins to exectue it will always fail.

Be sure you use the email on success and email on failure options when you first schedule a script just to make your self feel doubly comfortable that it is running correctly.

2. Is there a limit to the amount of jobs I can schedule?

There is a limit of 25 jobs which is more than enough for the majority of our clients. If you have a requirement to run more you may wish to consider a VPS or shared hosting account.
