Magento2 Cron – How to Check if a Cronjob is Already Running

cronmagento-cronmagento2

What is the best way to check, if a cronjob is already running?

I need a cronjob that checks, if there are new files in a folder and then do some stuff to this files. The cronjob should check every minute for new files. The problem is, that the cronjob itself could need more than one hour to execute.

How can i avoid to execute a cronjob multiple times?

Run the following command to see if crons are running:

service cron status

Or check the following table to see which cronjobs are running (empty (truncate!) the table and see if it get's repopulated to check if your crons are running the way you want it):

cron_schedule

Magento has a script called cron.php that executes all of the cronjobs that extensions create internally in Magento. It's advisable to indeed run this every 5 minutes.

Now in your screenshot the time is set right. All you need to do is add the command in the last box.

 /usr/local/lsws/fcgi-bin/lsphp5 /home/user/domains/mydomain.com/public_html/cron.php

Basically the first part is the path to the PHP executable that will run the script and the second part is the FULL path to the script itself. For me usually using the php command is enough to execute a script with PHP but if you're not sure just contact your hosting provider

Take a view to your MySQL Database > table cron_schedule. There are all magento created jobs with timestamp of creation, scheduled, executed and their status.

If anything wrong, then look for the cron job in the table and see if there is any log in the messages column.
