Recommended Cron Jobs

Some Cloudlog tasks are best performed on a regular schedule to keep things running smoothly. To avoid having an administrator do these tasks repeatedly you can set up cron jobs to do so automatically. Here is a recommended set of cron jobs to get started:

# Update the Cloudlog installation every day at midnight
0 0 * * * /bin/bash -c "<Full-Path-To-Bash-Script>/cloudlog.sh"

# Upload QSOs to Club Log (ignore cron job if this integration is not required)
3 */6 * * * curl --silent https://<URL-To-Cloudlog>/index.php/clublog/upload &>/dev/null

# Upload QSOs to LoTW if certs have been provided every hour.
0 */1 * * * curl --silent https://<URL-To-Cloudlog>/index.php/lotw/lotw_upload &>/dev/null

# Upload QSOs to QRZ Logbook (ignore cron job if this integration is not required)

These jobs complete the following tasks for Cloudlog:

• Update Cloudlog at midnight every day.
• Sync to Club Log, QRZ and HRDLog every 6 hours (you could reduce this amount of time, but this function is not using Club Log's realtime API, so keep it sensible)
• Update the Logbook of the World (LoTW) active users data every week.
• Update the Club Log SCP file.
• Update the DOK File for autocomplete. It is not recommended to run this too often, as it is not updated very often.
• Update the SOTA File for autocomplete. It is not recommended to run this too often, as it is not updated very often.
• Update the WWFF File for autocomplete. It is not recommended to run this too often, as it is not updated very often.
