Setting up cronjobs for Akeneo

To set up cronjobs, first connect to SSH. Then call crontab -e and select an editor of your choice. For beginners, we can recommend nano here. Alternatively, it is also possible to set up the cronjobs via our Application Center.

Depending on the Akeneo version used, the corresponding code block must be inserted at the end of the file.
