This one sends like 600 or 900 emails per hour. Have the cron running like each minute or each 2 minutes.

This is the path I am using:  
/your\_path\_to\_mautic/var/lock/consume\_mautic.sh

And the content:

```auto
#!/bin/bash

# Path to lock file
LOCKFILE="/your_path_to_mautic/var/lock/consume_mautic.lock"

# Life time of lock file in seconds (2 minutes = 120 seconds)
LOCKFILE_TIMEOUT=120

# Verify if lock file is present/exists
if [-e $LOCKFILE]; then
    # Calculated time from when the file was created
    LOCKFILE_AGE=$(($(date +%s) - $(stat -c %Y $LOCKFILE)))

    # If lock file is older than timeout, remove it
    if [$LOCKFILE_AGE -ge $LOCKFILE_TIMEOUT]; then
        echo "Lockfile is older than $LOCKFILE_TIMEOUT seconds. Removing..."
        rm -f $LOCKFILE
    else
        echo "Process is already running, exiting..."
        exit 1
    fi
fi

# Create lock file
touch $LOCKFILE

# Run the message consume process for emails
/usr/bin/php /your_path_to_mautic/bin/console messenger:consume email --limit=90 --time-limit=60 --memory-limit=128M

# Remove lock file when finished
rm -f $LOCKFILE

# Exist successful
exit 0

```
