Scheduling Report Generation {#opencart-cron-tab}
=================================================

Schedulers on a Linux, Mac, or Windows system are used to set up how often a specified report is generated. Schedulers for Linux and Mac systems are set up using a Cron Tab. The scheduler for a Windows system is set up using the Windows Task Scheduler app.  
When setting up a schedule for generating a specific report, use this format:

* **Format:** \<*shop domain name*\>/module/cybersourceofficial/paymentReport
* **Example:** `http://www.opencart_1.7.8.6.com/module/cybersourceofficial/paymentReport`

Cron Tab Syntax for Mac and Linux Systems {#opencart-cron-tab_section_jt4_x3n_jyb}
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When setting up the reporting schedule on a Linux or Mac system, you use `crontab` commands that determine how often and when the report is generated.  
The syntax is:

```
* * * * * [command]
```

{#opencart-cron-tab_codeblock_ipw_1jn_jyb}  
The asterisk (\*) represents each of these timing parameters:

* Minute (0-59)

* Hour (0-23)

* Day of Month (1-31)

* Month (1-12)

* Day of week (0-6), (0-Sunday)
  {#opencart-cron-tab_ul_rk4_fjn_jyb}  
  For example, these timing parameters indicate how often a specified report is generated:

* `* * * * * [command]`: Runs every minute of every day of every week of every month.

* `0 * * * * [command]`: Runs every hour of every day of every week of every month.

* `30 2 * * * [command]`: Runs at 2:30 a.m. every day of every week of every month.

* `0 0 2 * * [command]`: Runs once a month every month on the second day of the month.

* `0 * * * 1 [command]`: Runs every Monday at every hour.

* `0,10,20 * * * * [command]`: Runs on 0, 10, 20 minute of every hour of every day of every week of every month.

* `0 5-10 * * * *[command]`: Runs every hour between 5 a.m. and 10 a.m.

* `@reboot [command]`: Runs every time after the server reboots.

* `*/5 * * * * [command]`: Runs every five minutes of every day.
