Automating a WordOps Command Using Cron

WhatNow49

I am looking to automatically run the command "wo stack restart" on my server at a specific interval. When setting up a cron job to do so, I understand the proper way to add the command is by including the full path to the command, instead of just simply sticking "wo stack restart" in there as the command to run.

It's unclear to me what the actual "path" of this command would be - has anyone tried automating a wordops command and figured out which full path should be used?

you can find out where the WO cli command lives by typing:
$ which wo

While I cannot confirm that all installs are the same, that resulted in this for me:
/usr/local/bin/wo

and then you'd want to test our your CLI command, ensuring that it works as expected:
/usr/local/bin/wo stack restart

if that worked, and assuming that you'd want to run this at 5am every week, you'd add this to your crontab:
0 5 * * 1 /usr/local/bin/wo stack restart

...BUT, let me forewarn you to doublecheck that this is actually what you're trying to do. While I can't truly speak for others, I'd say that the majority of individuals would probably not want or need to run this command on a scheduled cron.
