Configuring Cron for Linux + Docker
💡 This is obsolete documentation for older versions of Passwork (before 5.1.0).
Starting from version 5.1.0 Passwork uses built-in background task mechanisms for LDAP synchronization.
The Cron is a component of the Linux operating system. It is used to run certain scripts on a server at the right time, according to a schedule.

💡 We recommend deleting the log file before running cron for the first time
You can check the cron log by using the command
