How to determine next plugin run time

Hi,

Thanks for using our plugin and reaching out to us.

These are the update times:

• Daily: just after 07:00 local server time
• Twicedaily:just after 07:00 and 19:00 local server time
• Hourly: every hour

> Daily: just after 07:00 local server time

Are you absolutely sure of that? The reason I ask is that I have an hourly cron job running on my server that scrapes the output directory and makes copies of any .xml files it finds to another directory, and I can tell with almost ontological certitude that the file was created between 01:40 and 02:40 local EST, as at 1:40 there was no file to scrape, and at 2:40 there was. So it seems far more likely the file was created at 02:00EST which would be 07:00UTC if I haven’t gotten something very wrong.

Am I missing something?

Yes are sure, this is some code directly from the plugin;

$cron_start_date = date("d M Y H:i");
$cron_start_time = time();
$hour = date('H');

if (($val['cron'] == "daily") AND ($hour == 07)){
 } elseif (($val['cron'] == "twicedaily") AND ($hour == 19 || $hour == 07)){

The variable hour is using the PHP function date:

Hi,

Assuming the issue at hand has been resolved and/or our support is no longer required I am going to close this topic for housekeeping reasons now.

Should you ever require our help again, don’t hesitate to reach out or open a new topic.
