All I can say is if you set your Default Log Level to DEBUG, run cron, and you don’t see a system log entry titled “Cron Job” then the cron is not correct or has an error somewhere.
You should check all possible logs for any related errors. You should also try to run cron manually via CLI to see if it kicks back any errors.
You also need to make sure the cron job is running as the web server/PHP user.
Cheers.
yes, /usr/bin/php is the correct vesion.
before i backup files this working fine. i dont now what going on.
Then you need to check all of your logs and run the command manually to see what's going on.
Cheers.
Hi, I added the following code to the file in cron.php in the api directory:
<?php
// Add correct path to your countlog.txt file.
$path = 'hits.txt';
// Opens countlog.txt to read the number of hits.
$file = fopen( $path, 'r' );
$count = fgets( $file, 1000 );
fclose( $file );
// Update the count.
$count = abs( intval( $count ) ) + 1;
// Output the updated count.
echo "{$count} hits\n";
// Opens countlog.txt to change new hit number.
$file = fopen( $path, 'w' );
fwrite( $file, $count );
fclose( $file );
?>
I also added the hits.txt file there
The code itself works, I checked.(in the public_html directory)
But when triggered by cron, should the counter in the hits.txt file be incremented, or will it not work?
currently the counter in the hits.txt file does not change.
Unfortunately, I'm not going to be able to assist with custom cron scripts.
Are you sure you are calling the correct location/file? Have you tried running the cron command manually via CLI to see if any errors are being returned (eg. /path/to/php /path/to/osTicket/api/cron.php)?
Cheers.
When i run cron, i get this errors:

To me it seems like you are using an older version of osTicket or an unsupported version of PHP. What is your osTicket version and what is your PHP version?
Cheers.
Hello,
PHP 5.4 [LEGACY]
Apache
Database client version: libmysql - mysqlnd 8.1.10Wersja serwera: 8.0.25-15 - Percona Server (GPL), Release '15', Revision 'a558ec2'
Wow, that’s an extremely old version of PHP. I would highly suggest upgrading your PHP and osTicket and retest.
Cheers.
I changed php to 7.4 but ostiscket still doesnt sending e-mail notification 
I’m sorry but without you being on a latest release with the latest supported prerequisites then I wouldn’t be able to assist you further.
Cheers.
Here is the list of current versions and their pre-requisites.
ok, i upgrade osticket to 1.18.1 and still have the same problem, all works without auto email notificaton.
Notification is send only when administrator login to do panel...
Can you share a screenshot of Admin Panel > Dashboard > Information? Your situation doesn’t really make any sense unless only auto-cron is running which is only ran when agents are logged in.
What alerts are not sending exactly?
Cheers.
Also, did you update the cron command to reflect the new PHP version after upgrading? If not that will be an issue.
Cheers.
Previously it worked like this:
Someone sends an email to a mailbox connected to osticket.
Osticket downloads this message and creates a report, sending an emain to the website address about the new report and its content.
Currently it works like this:
Someone sends an email to a mailbox connected to osticket.
Nothing further happens until I log into my account.
When you log in, osticket creates a ticket and sends an email notification that the ticket has been created.
my cron job looks like this, before this works...
Why didn’t you check the requirements before upgrading? We don’t support PHP 8.3 so you’ll need to downgrade to PHP 8.2 and update the cron command accordingly.
After your recent description of the issue I can confirm your cron job is not running or is not correct which is the cause of your issue.
Cheers.
OMG... today i change php version to 8.1 and cron start working but only for 2 minutes, and now doesnt work...
