Cron Status, under Tools → Cron Status, shows whether Mumara's scheduled background tasks are running. The cron system powers everything that happens automatically — without it, campaigns won't send, bounces won't process, and triggers won't fire.
The page displays the exact Cron command to add to your server's crontab (with a copy button), an overall Cron Status indicator (green checkmark when healthy, red X when stopped or never configured), and the detected Cron interval. Below that, every scheduled task is listed with its last execution time in the format "Last run X mins ago" plus the exact timestamp. Monitored tasks include Email campaigns, Trigger processing, Bounce processing, Feedback loop processing, ESP callbacks, Maintenance work, Pending Stats, Click/Open Tracking, Suppression Processing, Evergreen Campaigns, and Stuck Campaigns.
To set up cron, copy the command from this page and add it to your crontab (crontab -e on Linux) so it runs every minute (* * * * *); cPanel and Plesk users can do the same in their panel's Cron Jobs section. Worth knowing: "Never ran" can be normal for tasks that only fire when needed (like Stuck Campaigns), but a red X or steadily growing "mins ago" values mean cron has stopped — check the PHP path and artisan path in your cron entry first. Recheck cron after server migrations or PHP upgrades, since paths often change. Task intervals are configured under Cron Settings.
