If anyone needs help with cron jobs, I have found a site.

There is a site I have found that allows you to maintain cron jobs for completely free.

It allows you to specifically select times which is helpful for some jobs specifically PWSDashboard.

Thought I'd post it here since people have been having problems with timings n such!  \:D/

Should be right there when you edit it on cron-job.org

oh wow,
first time I have seen that , i been all over the thing last few days !!!!!

I had every XX mins
AND OR
every hours, then a choice up to 23hrs

Brilliant
now this does NOT make sense, must be having a senior moment!!!

its even got the cron jobs setup for the right times , which makes no sense !!!!!!!!
i never setup  them up at all , spent a lot of yesterday setting and testing the BAT jobs on laptop , would not have bothered, now i'm very worried if i set that up 
!!!!!!!

Now i have disabled the BAT jobs running on my laptop which is great, and will run from cron-jobs account ,  i have had now cron-job for a few days, I did log a support call, but never got an answer
perhaps they changed the options

are your cron jobs actually running OK
I have been playing around today, with a lot of help from Wim van der Kuil
and they are not running , although it says successful
the test was i renamed the history.txt to history.txt.old
and the history.txt file never got created , which the 5min stationcron should do

i have attached a text file so you can see results i get from history / details
seems its checking for a cookie from the external cron


i'm now running the BAT files from a laptop again
