Requires: phpFox 4.4.0+
Cron jobs in v4.4.0+ are used for Groups App notifications and also for importing old groups from prior v4 versions to the Groups App in v4.4.0+ should you choose to do so. You will need to set up a cron job in order to have the Groups notifications work.
The file for running phpFox cron jobs is "cron.php" that is stored in the phpFox root folder (Ex: /var/www/html/phpfox). We suggest that you config to execute the file every 5 minutes. In the below example, we set 5 minutes and our example path_to_phpfox_dir is /var/www/html/phpfox.
There are several ways to configure cron job, depend on your web server environment.
