View, create and check cronjobs doing http-URL- or Shortcode-requests.

With Get URL Cron you can
* add, edit, delete cronjobs: request http-URLs or WordPress-Shortcodes at defined times and with several intervals
* check the retrieved result on a required string or JSON-field (to be sure the http-URL- / Shortcode-request was ok)
* retry the http-URL- / Shortcode-request several times on failures
* display all cronjobs in the WordPress-Installation (also those independent of Get URL Cron)
* manually execute Get URL Cron-cronjobs
* Log all requests: 1st Logentry is that the htpp-URL- / Shortcode-request is a try, 2nd Logentry is success or failirure of the request
* send mails for each http-URL- / Shortcode-request: start trying and result of request

Usage

  1. Go to ‘Basic Settings’ in the plugin menu to set basic settings (like E-Mailadress for Statusmessages)
  2. Go to ‘Set CronJobs’ to manage the cron events: Set URL or WordPress-Shortcode, interval, startdate etc.
  3. Store the defined CronJobs
  4. Manually execute a Cronjob by clicking on “execute job”
  5. Check plugin-menu ‘Show CronJobs’: There the scheduled CronJobs “geturlcron_event-” should be listed
  6. Check plugin-menu ‘Show Logs’: There should be at least one entry for the “try”. And if the CronJob has been finished a entry for the result (“FAIL” or “OK”)
  7. If a E-Mailadress is defined, two E-Mails are sent for trying and result.
