Configuring

In order for Ultimate Cron to work properly, cron must be invoked every minute.

Normal (wget)

Example:

* * * * *      /usr/local/bin/wget -O - -q -t 1 http://example.com/cron.php?cron_key=1234567890abcdef

Poorman

Each launcher plugin for Ultimate Cron can provide a poormans cron mechanism. The launchers Serial and Background Process (bundled with Ultimate Cron) each provide a poormans cron mechanism.
Poormans cron can be enabled at /admin/config/system/cron/settings/poorman.

Drush

* * * * *      /usr/local/bin/drush cron-run --uri=http://example.com --root=/path/to/drupal

Note: Make sure not to use drush cron as you would do when not using Ultimate Cron.
