Hi,

i setted up a recurring invoice, and i tested it with auto creation daily and weekly.
But i become every time that create the invoice automatically, that create 3 invoice at the same time. The invoicenumber is 1, 2 and 3, that correct, but i don’t setted up to create 3 invoices… Is anywhere an option to fix it?

Thanks a lot!

Hi,

Is it possible the cron is configured to run more than once at a time?

@david any thoughts?

Thanks for the answer @hillel

That’s the crontab config:

0 8 * * * /usr/bin/php8.1 /var/www/invoiceninja/artisan ninja:send-recurring > /dev/null
0 8 * * * /usr/bin/php8.1 /var/www/invoiceninja/artisan ninja:send-reminders > /dev/null
0 8 * * * cd /var/www/invoiceninja/ ^^ /usr/bin/php8.1 artisan schedule:run >> /dev/null 2>&1
0 8 * * * cd /var/www/invoiceninja/ && php artisan schedule:run >> /dev/null 2>&1

Anything wrong?

It looks like you’re running both the the v4 and v5 crons.

For v5, schedule:run should only be run once

Oh ok. So you mean i only need the last 2?
Like this:

0 8 * * * cd /var/www/invoiceninja/ ^^ /usr/bin/php8.1 artisan schedule:run >> /dev/null 2>&1
0 8 * * * cd /var/www/invoiceninja/ && php artisan schedule:run >> /dev/null 2>&1

Those two lines are running the same command, you only need one of them

This may explain the problem you’re having

But the job should run every minute. You should have just one job that looks like

* * * * * cd /var/www/invoiceninja/ && /usr/bin/php8.1 artisan schedule:run >> /dev/null 2>&1

(Note the asterisks at the beginning.)
