Background Jobs

Keep scheduled and queued work running after web requests finish.

Background Jobs covers work which should continue without keeping an Admin page open, including scheduled publishing, email and longer-running tasks.

Normal hosting

Set up a scheduled task to run tasks.php once a minute. It checks for work that is due and exits when there is nothing to do.

Automatic processing

Some actions can start background work immediately, but the regular scheduled task is still the reliable safety net for unattended work.

Bridge Host

A Bridge Host has its own supported Host worker for Bridge operations. Normal work inside a Silo is still checked from that Silo’s Background Jobs screen.

Check a stuck job

Open Background Jobs and inspect the status, attempts and latest error. Fix the underlying problem before repeatedly retrying the same failing job.
