How do I install the cron jobs for housekeeping?

 

The cron jobs described below are available for automatically cleaning up the system.

 

To do this, first call the crontab as root:

 

# crontab -e

Here you insert the following lines as needed:

 

0 5 * * * php -f /path/to/vimp/symfony -- framework:uploads-housekeeping >> /path/to/vimp/log/housekeeping.log 2>&1

 

Cleans the uploads directory from orphaned files.

 

30 5 * * * php -f /path/to/vimp/symfony -- framework:users-housekeeping >> /path/to/vimp/log/housekeeping.log 2>&1

 

Cleans the user database of inactive users according to the configuration under Configuration -> Basic -> Data celanup-> Remove inactive users (default: 2 years).

 

0 6 * * * php -f /path/to/vimp/symfony -- framework:media-housekeeping >> /path/to/vimp/log/housekeeping.log 2>&1

 

Cleans the media database from old media according to the configuration under Configuration -> Basic -> Data cleansing -> Remove old media (default: 2 years).

Where /path/to/vimp should be replaced by the corresponding path to the VIMP directory on your server.
