Command: /opt/plesk/php/7.2/bin/php -q /var/www/vhosts/example.com/httpdocs/whmcs/crons/cron.php
OR

Code Select Expand

Task type: Run a PHP script
Script path: /var/www/vhosts/example.com/httpdocs/whmcs/crons/cron.php
Use PHP version: select any required version
System user: root
2.Provide the system user john_doe with access to the server over SSH (for example, /bin/bash) at Domains > example.com > Web Hosting Access.

3.Change the crontab shell for scheduled tasks to /bin/bash at Tools & Settings > Scheduled Tasks > Settings.

4.Add a required command to chrooted environment.
