**Your software** My Mautic version is: 2.15.2 My PHP version is: 7.2.24 **Your problem** My problem is: I am upgrading to the latest version of Mautic on a new server, and wanted to get advice as to the correct Cron Jobs for the new install. I am attaching a screenshot of the current install, and would really appreciate an experienced user, on whether I should add, edit, or delete any of the cron jobs. I had a previous problem with them, and don’t want to carry over any mistakes that I may have made. Thanks in advance for any feed ![Mautic Cron Jobs](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/mautic/original/2X/2/2a0cacd6252e8d11e7a242da2886606b5a03f63b.png) back or advice.

Sorry if I wasn’t clear. You see, I was such a idiot with setting up cron jobs initially and got conflicting tips … so I wanted to make sure I didn’t add too many, or not the right ones. If my setup is fine, then thank you for your feedback. THANKS! ---

@isponse So I guess none of the posted resources did give you what you were looking for… I am looking into updating my 2 guides and adding a third one. Would you please be so kind and tell me what do you think is missing or needs improvement. Critical comments are more than welcome, I need truth, not kindness. Thank you!
