**Your software**  
My Mautic version is: 4.0.0  
My PHP version is: 7.4.33  
My Database type and version is: MariaDB

**Your problem**  
My problem is:  
I want to know how do I run Mautic CRON jobs on Amazon AWS EC2 server?  
Are there any tutorials available?  
Most of the tutorials available are using cPanel, but I don’t have a cPanel.

Thanks

I can’t help for EC2 specific but I assume you have CLI access via terminal or putty or similar?

How to work with crons in mautic via CLI

Run the below in CLI to force a cron to run

php /var/www/mautic/bin/console mautic:segment:update

php /var/www/mautic/bin/console/mautic:campaigns:update

php /var/www/mautic/bin/console/mautic:campaigns:trigger

mautic:emails:send

php /var/www/mautic/bin/console/mautic:import

php /var/www/mautic/bin/console/mautic:email:fetch

php /var/www/mautic/bin/console/mautic:iplookup:download

To configure cron intervals

sudo -u www-data crontab -e

Then set intervals using[https://crontab.guru/](https://crontab.guru/)

Be careful with over lapping crons or overloading the serve with running crons too often.
