Nk_wp_cron_disable

Home

Description

This is a bash script function called nk_wp_cron_disable() that expects to be passed a domain name as an argument. The function disables the default WordPress cron and sets up a system cron job to execute the WordPress cron every 12 hours. The function first defines some variables such as the docroot, user, php_version, wp_config_file, wp_cron_file, system_cron_file, and cron_cmd.

The function then calls two helper functions: update_config_file() and update_system_cron(). The update_config_file() function checks if the “DISABLE_WP_CRON” constant is already present in the site’s wp-config.php file. If it is not present, the function adds the constant to the file. The update_system_cron() function checks if there is already a cron job for the site’s wp-cron.php file in the user’s crontab. If there is, the function updates the existing cron job with the new values. If there is no existing cron job, the function adds a new one to the crontab.

The function prints out various messages to indicate the progress and status of the process. If the function is called without a domain name argument, it prints an error message and returns.

Examples

[root@cloudvpsserver ~]# nk_wp_cron_disable nkern.net
DISABLE_WP_CRON already present at /home/nkern/public_html/wp-config.php
Cron tab updated for: nkern.net at /var/spool/cron/nkern
0 0,12 * * * /usr/local/bin/ea-php81 /home/nkern/public_html/wp-cron.php >/dev/null

# First we need to define some variables we'll be using.
# domain : this is provided by the nk_user as an arguement.

# user : this is the user associated with the domain, found using nk_user.
# php_version : this is the php version associated with the site, found with nk_php_version.
# wp_config_file : this is the wp-config.php of the site. Made by appending wp-config.php to the end of docroot.
