Hi all, I just installed subscriptions beta2 and I'm testing it.
It seems to works fine exept that I the emails are sent only if i manualy run the cron.
In my subscriptions I set "as soon as possible" but seem to not work.
What do I have to do? How does cron works?

The best place for support requests on Subscriptions is the module's issue queue. However, I can answer this. Notifications will be sent only when initiated by cron. "As soon as possible" simply means that a subscription with this interval will have a notification sent as soon as cron is fired next.

I found out that I have to use the cron of the server to call the "cron.php" of drupal.
On a linux hosting It can be done in two ways (that I know):
using the command
wget yourDomani/cron.php
Or, if on the server, the module php-cli in installed, it can be done by calling the script
path/webserver/drupal/cron.php
You should add a comment in the first line to the cron.php to define where the interpreter is
#!/usr/local/bin/php
(I didn't try this but it should work)
If your hostind doesn't allow you to set cron jobs, you can use www.webcron.org to call your scritps.
(make donation for the service if you can ;)
