New page

== Cron Jobs ==

In Plesk, cron jobs are called `Scheduled Tasks`.

== Cron Jobs Affect Account Load ==

Scheduled Tasks count towards your total account load. This means that running too many cron jobs or starting a cron job to run every 1 minute risks your account getting suspended for high server usage. Refer to the Cron Jobs section of our [[:Suspension_Policy|Suspension Policy]] for more details.

== Setting up a Scheduled Task ==

To access the cron job section, navigate to:

'''Login > Plesk > Websites & Domains > [ domain ] > Scheduled Tasks > `Add Task`'''

![](../../.gitbook/assets/plesk-scheduled-tasks.png)

== Cron Jobs are chrooted ==

Scheduled Tasks run in a chroot environment with limited access to binaries and executables for security reasons.
This means you cannot directly access certain programs or scripts outside of your home directory.

== Working Around the chroot ==

Some options to work around the chroot environment when setting up a Scheduled Task include:

== Flask Endpoint ==

Set up a Flask application and create an endpoint like `domain.helioho.st/update`, then use the "Fetch a URL" option inside Scheduled Tasks to access it via `https`.

If you're new to Flask or want a more detailed guide, check out this [Flask tutorial](../flask.md) to help you get started.

== Python ==

Set up a Python script in the `cgi-bin` directory, then use the "Fetch a URL" option inside Scheduled Tasks to access the file via `https`.

If you're new to Python or want a more detailed guide, check out this [[:Python_Tutorial]] to help you get started.
