which version of centmin mod and when was WP installed via centmin.sh men u option 22 ? as there was a bug in cron schedule for wp auto cron which was fixed a while back in.

123.09beta01 centminmod/wpsetup.inc at 123.09beta01 · centminmod/centminmod · GitHub and

123.08stable centminmod/wpsetup.inc at 123.08stable · centminmod/centminmod · GitHub

fixed to run every 15 minutes with a random sleep interval for ${DELAYS} for ${vhostname} which would be your wordpress domain
Code:
*/15 * * * * sleep ${DELAY}s ; wget -O - -q -t 1 http://${vhostname}/wp-cron.php?doing_wp_cron=1 > /dev/null 2>&1
You can edit this and use a DELAY calculated from output of this command
Code:
DELAY=$(echo ${RANDOM:0:3})
echo $DELAY
oh reread, it wasn't wp-cron but wordpress update cron, so relevant lines

123.09beta01 centminmod/wpsetup.inc at 123.09beta01 · centminmod/centminmod · GitHub and

123.08stable centminmod/wpsetup.inc at 123.08stable · centminmod/centminmod · GitHub

set to run every 8 hours
Code:
0 */8 * * * sleep ${DELAY}s ;/root/tools/wp_updater_${vhostname}.sh 2>/dev/null

Yep, I changed to run
* 1 * * 5

But question is, why is throwing me 57 e-mails and why is executed 57 times (every minute in that hour).
If is it only for automatically update wordpress and addons, could I just delete it from crontab and update manually via ACP of wordpress?

eva2000 · Jan 23, 2016

cause you incorrectly have * in minute field see Crontab Generator - Generate crontab syntax

as opposed to setting the minute field with a value
