I am trying to set up cron jobs in cpanel using a hosted Godaddy account.
I put in the following script: _/usr/local/bin/php -f /home/my username/public\_html/mautic/app/console mautic:campaign:trigger -e prod_
I get the following response: _Script in progress. Use -f or --force to force execution._
I let the cron job run for about an hour and I get the same response.
The scripts for the 2 other cron jobs seem to work fine.

I’m on GoDaddy too and am having a heck of a time trying to get the cron job to run - could you tell me what script you ended up using that worked?

@menolo , for cron jobs cpanel issue there’s another way to fix it. Follow these steps:
1- Login your cPanel and open File Manager.
2- Create new file into Mautic’s folder named cronjob.php (or any one of your choice).
3- Copy this script and paste into cronjob.php. Then replace ILoveMAUTIC by any of your choice. Save and close.
\' . $href . '';
}
echo '
Read more';
echo '
Please, backup your database before executing the doctrine commands!';
die;
}
$task = urldecode($_GET['task']);
if (!in_array($task, $allowedTasks)) {
echo 'Task ' . $task . ' is not allowed.';
die;
}
$fullCommand = explode(' ', $task);
$command = $fullCommand[0];
$argsCount = count($fullCommand) - 1;
$args = array('console', $command);
if ($argsCount) {
for ($i = 1; $i <= $argsCount; $i++) {
$args[] = $fullCommand[$i];
}
}
require_once __DIR__.'/app/bootstrap.php.cache';
require_once __DIR__.'/app/AppKernel.php';
use SymfonyBundleFrameworkBundleConsoleApplication;
use SymfonyComponentConsoleInputArgvInput;
use SymfonyComponentConsoleOutputBufferedOutput;
defined('IN_MAUTIC_CONSOLE') or define('IN_MAUTIC_CONSOLE', 1);
try {
$input = new ArgvInput($args);
$output = new BufferedOutput();
$kernel = new AppKernel('prod', false);
$app = new Application($kernel);
$app->setAutoExit(false);
$result = $app->run($input, $output);
echo "n".$output->fetch().'
';
} catch (Exception $exception) {
echo $exception->getMessage();
}
```
4- Type into browser: [domain.com/mautic/cronjob.php?ILoveMAUTIC](http://domain.com/mautic/cronjob.php?ILoveMAUTIC) replacing whatever needed. Assuming /mautic/ installation folder. It will be displayed many options to click. It’s a manual cron job for while. Keep this tab open.
5- Sign up here: [https://cron-job.org/](https://cron-job.org/) .It’s free up to 60 cron jobs but you’ll need upto 4 cron jobs.
6- Include new URLs from tab at step 4.
[domain.com/mautic/cronjob.php?&task=mautic%3Aleadlists%3Aupdate](http://domain.com/mautic/cronjob.php?&task=mautic%3Aleadlists%3Aupdate)
[domain.com/mautic/cronjob.php?&task=mautic\mail%3Aprocess](http://domain.com/mautic/cronjob.php?&task=mautic%3email%3Aprocess) - This one just for using queue email.
I’ve tested and it works fine!
Thx to @escopecz and @ninjoan

@Sokoban I had problems with your script when multiple cronjobs were running at the same time. Here is my solution:
