    Hi,

    I installed WordPress with option 22. After that, I installed other web services which require cron jobs.

    I manually edit crontabs with crontab -e

    However, We realized that our cron jobs haven't worked almost for two weeks.

    Could centminmod overwrite our cron jobs?

    Just my 5cents:

    Anytime I have tried to move out from Wordpress default cron (aka pseudocron) by disabling WP cron and activating the cronjob on centminmod server, something goes awry. Things don't update correctly, as you stated, and pending scheduled actions get overloaded.

    If your site uses actionscheduler (Woocommerce, subscription plugins etc.) and you disable WP cron, you will be in world of pain.

    Some fixes I have come up with (I use WP cron and AS High Volume):

    For laggy updates to database:
    woocommerce/action-scheduler-high-volume

    For excessive deadlocks in error log:
    Fix: Add new index by glagonikas · Pull Request #535 · woocommerce/action-scheduler
    Issue: Diagnose intermittent deadlocks · Issue #530 · woocommerce/action-scheduler

    For disabling WP cron AND still successfully running actionscheduler jobs you'd have to trigger it manually from cron, or so I have understood. I will add the commands here, if needed (need to dig them).

    @tininho wordpress is specific case, i deliberately disable centmin.sh menu option 22 wordpress created system cronjob so to leave wordpress native cron working as folks have reported system cron for wordpress specifically not working. However, non-wordpress system cronjobs should work.

    which cronjobs exactly are they ?
    if you're comfortable you can only list the ones or/masked ones from output for
    Code (Text):
    crontab -l
