Check if you have self-managed cron enabled (only for Cloud Pro Staging and Production)

To check if the self-managed cron is enabled, run the crontab -l command and observe the result:

  • Self-managed cron is enabled, if you are able to see the tasks, like the following:

    username@hostname:~$ crontab -l    # Crontab is managed by the system, attempts to edit it directly will fail.
    SHELL=/etc/platform/username/cron-run    MAILTO=""    # m h dom mon dow job_name    * * * * * cronrun
    
  • The self-managed cron is not enabled if you are not able to see the tasks and get the “you are not allowed to use this program” error message.

NOTE
The command mentioned above to check if self-managed cron is enabled does not apply on a Starter plan and in the development/integration environment.
