 Greetings,

This is a closed community site and is under development.

  • Drupal Version 10.1.7
  • Web Server Apache/2.4.52 (Ubuntu)
  • PHP Version 8.2.13
  • Database Version 8.0.35-0ubuntu0.22.04.1

Three observations.

  1. The cron is not running every three hours as set up.
  2. The cron run is triggered by captcha_cron after page not found event.
  3. There is an attempt to re-run cron [Attempting to re-run cron while it is already running.], by whom?

Should this be reported in some other place?

Thanks a ton.

Joe

Sorry, but I cannot understand what is going wrong with you installation. Web-cron doesn't run as scheduled?

Drupal's built-in cron (aka. "poorman's cron") cannot be scheduled to run every three hours. It can be set up to be triggered by the first page load after the set time – i.e. three hours in your case. To me, it looks like it works like designed. The re-runs are triggered of there is another activity before the first cron run has completed.

To schedule cron runs without making them dependent on activity on your site, you need to configure an external trigger for Drupal cron.
