Prevent cron job from running every minute?

[DennisMidjord]

Hi,

Is there any way to prevent users to configure cron jobs that should run every minute?
We have a fair share of clients who configure almost every cron job to be run every minute, and some of these are very resource-demanding (and some of them doing many mysql queries).

This results in a high load.

Hello @DennisMidjord

There is no native way through cPanel to do this, you can disable the crontab for users though by going to WHM>>Packages>>Feature Manager>>Edit Feature List and deselecting Cron Jobs for users using the specific featurelist.

Thank you,

Thanks, Lauren.
I can see that there's a feature request open for something similar: Cron limits

Hi @DennisMidjord

Yes, and if you'd like to see that available as a feature I would encourage you to vote for it! I'm sorry I didn't point that out to begin with.


Thank you,
