2 - How to setup cron job

Step 1: Log in to your cpanel. Normally cpanel can be accessed using www.yourdomain.com/cpanel. Your host may have configured a different address for cpanel so if this doesn’t work check with your host.

Step 2: Open the Cron Jobs menu item under the Advanced tab in your Cpanel. The screenshot below shows where this is located.

Step 3: The final step is to fill in the settings to create the cron job. If you would like an email of the success or failure fill in the box that says email with your preferred email address. Under the Add New Cron Job settings you should set these to the following:

• Common Settings: Once a day (0 0 * * *)
• Command: curl "https://yourdomain.com/index.php?option=com_easyservicesbooking&task=cron.cron&format=raw"
or
  Command: curl "https://yourdomain.com/index.php?option=com_easyservicesbooking&task=cron.sync&google_cal_sync_secret=yourgooglecalsyncsecret&format=raw"

You can also use the integration with easycron to set these links up automatically.  For information about setting up cron jobs using EasyCron see the knowledge base article How to use Easycron.
