Schedule Auto-Resume (v1.85)
Auto-resume is a feature that gives your mailings much more stability. It allows you to start even a very large email and walk away, knowing that the email is being delivered despite unexpected problems such as a server reboot, MySQL or web server restart, etc.
This script checks for any inactive mailings and resumes them. An inactive mailing is one where messages have already been fully queued, mail sending has started and the send script has not responded within a reasonable amount of time (~1min).
To use the feature, a scheduled task (much like Dailymail) needs to be set up at a fairly short interval to automatically resume any mailings that may have failed.
The feature currently uses a script named resume.php and requires you to also include your dailymail password as the "pw" variable, much like when setting the dailymail cron task.
Six cron-style timings and command-lines are provided below, for 5 minute, 10 minute, 15 minute, 30 minute, and 1 hour. You should only set up one of these, according to your preference.
Replace "example.com/mail" with your domain and path to ListMail. Replace "YourDailyMailPass" with your Dailymail Password as set up on the ListMail Configuration page.
Every 5 minutes:
*/5 * * * * /usr/bin/wget -O /dev/null -T 0 http://example.com/mail/resume.php?pw=YourDailyMailPass 1> /dev/null 2> /dev/null
Every 10 minutes:
*/10 * * * * /usr/bin/wget -O /dev/null -T 0 http://example.com/mail/resume.php?pw=YourDailyMailPass 1> /dev/null 2> /dev/null
Every 15 minutes:
*/15 * * * * /usr/bin/wget -O /dev/null -T 0 http://example.com/mail/resume.php?pw=YourDailyMailPass 1> /dev/null 2> /dev/null
Every 30 minutes:
*/30 * * * * /usr/bin/wget -O /dev/null -T 0 http://example.com/mail/resume.php?pw=YourDailyMailPass 1> /dev/null 2> /dev/null
Every hour on the hour:
0 * * * * /usr/bin/wget -O /dev/null -T 0 http://example.com/mail/resume.php?pw=YourDailyMailPass 1> /dev/null 2> /dev/null
Every hour at 20 minutes past:
20 * * * * /usr/bin/wget -O /dev/null -T 0 http://example.com/mail/resume.php?pw=YourDailyMailPass 1> /dev/null 2> /dev/null
Please see the Schedule Dailymail help page (and sub-pages) for instructions and alternatives for setting up the scheduled event. |
