How to setup the new scheduler jobs

[msn]

How to setup the new scheduler jobs in civicrm/admin/job?reset=1?
What is the cron command (syntax) needed to start these jobs?
Is there some documentation in civicrm.org about how to use these new 'cron' process?

You can find some documentation here: http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRM/Consolidated+CiviCRM+Cron

Thanks for the link. I read this and followed the links in the text.
I still have questions.

Is cli.php in civivrm/bin the script that cron has to start?
When I do that I have a "Failed opening required 'civicrm.config.php" error. Also when using name pass and key.
I am confused because the documentation speaks about starting the script without name, pass and key.
Maybe I am missing the correct syntax?

Sorry, also after reading the new text in the wiki, I still do not understand how I should use it.

Do I have to make a cronjob for each scheduled job I want to use?
Or is there a (per minute...) cronjob script that for all scheduled jobs?
And what is the correct script?
The wiki example does not have a key, I don't need  the key?

In CiviCRM / bin I tried the example from the wiki:

Code: [Select]

php cli.php -e job -a update_greeting --ct=Individual --gt=email_greeting
and also
php cli.php -e job -a process_mailing .

For both the result is the error message:

Code: [Select]

Warning: require_once (civicrm.config.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in / home/public_html/drupal-7/sites/all/modules/civicrm/bin/cli . php on line 129

Fatal error: require_once (): Failed opening required 'civicrm.config.php' (include_path ='.:/ usr / local / lib / php ') in / home/public_html/drupal-7 / sites / all / modules / CiviCRM / bin / cli.php on line 129
The required civicrm.config.php is in the civicrm_root (setting in civicrm.settings.php).

Thanks for http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC41/Managing+Scheduled+Jobs this helps a lot.

In cron I have the command

Code: [Select]

php /home/domain1/domains/mvowebsites.nl/public_html/drupal-7/sites/all/modules/civicrm/bin/cli.php -u drupaluser -p password -e Job -a executeThis works fine: the scheduled jobs I switched on are working: mass mail is send and the log of the scheduled jobs gives the starting and finishing execution results.

Problem is in drupal logs. On each cron command (each minute) there is

Code: [Select]

Notice: Undefined index: SERVER_SOFTWARE in require_once() (line 13 van /home/domain1/domains/mvowebsites.nl/public/drupal-7/includes/mail.inc).

Searching this forum and the internet, I cannot find the reason.

I'm trying to trigger the jobs by URL and getting no success - cron.php doesn't exist any more, so am I right in thinking the instructions for this haven't been written yet?

This are the instructions for managing scheduled jobs / new cron stuff: http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC41/Managing+Scheduled+Jobs

Yes, I know. And the section on doing it through a URL refers to bin/cron.php which doesn't exist in 4.1. I was checking whether they hadn't been updated, or if I'm missing something.

[Kurund Jalmi]

cron.php does exists in bin folder, check http://svn.civicrm.org/civicrm/branches/v4.1/bin/

Can you download and check latest beta
