To use the Auto Update function with our AutoInstall SSL™ plugin, first you need to setup a cron job using the Command prompt (we recommended running the cronjob weekly).
How do I Add/Edit the Crontab?
- Login to server using Putty
To add or update the cronjob in the crontab, use the below command. It will open the crontab file in editor where the cronjob can be added/updated.
