crontabmanager how to confirm entry
« on: April 23, 2026, 04:57:21 PM »
Ive added 1 entry to this contrib but it isnt working. I assume the command is wrong but how can i confirm if the entry has been made and it is actually running?

Until all the main stuff is fixed and we get RC out, contribs are very much testing only.

Some have been done, some part done.

Some have just been imported for 11 and left and need updating.

If it's broken open a bug please. We'll look when we can.

No sorry Reetp i obviously wasnt clear.
As part of the testing i assuming it adds some entry to somewhere (some cron file?) but i dont know where to see if it has created before i start looking as to why it appears the command isnt running
