Cronjobs run a command on a schedule on your Grid Hosting account. Jobs run as the main user shown under Account Information on the dashboard (for example c1234567). The schedule is UTC. The shortest interval is once per minute. The job’s PATH includes /usr/local/bin, so composer and wp (WP-CLI) are available without a full path. You can also call a versioned PHP binary, such as php84. Cron does not email you the output. stdout and stderr are not discarded unless you redirect them. Handle output yourself, for example append to a log file or send it to /dev/null.
If you only need to hit a URL on a timer, use URL Scheduler instead of a full cron command.
