Wordpress cronjob every 5 seconds not working
I've added following into my Wordpress functions.php file to send a mail every 5 seconds to the entered email address but it's not working. I've added some logging to check if the job runs the hook but it's just initializing it and thats it:
add_filter( 'cron_schedules', 'five_seconds_interval' );
function five_seconds_interval( $schedules ) {
$schedules['five_seconds'] = array(
'interval' => 5,
'display' => esc_html__( 'Alle 5 Sekunden' ),
);
return $schedules;
}
add_action('init', 'schedule_my_cron',10);
function schedule_my_cron(){
error_log("schedule_my_cron()");
wp_schedule_event(time(), 'five_seconds', 'my_job');
}
function my_job() {
error_log("my_job()");
wp_mail('test@localhost.de', 'Cronjob funktioniert!', 'LOL', 'Von IBims');
}
This is what I'm getting in my logfile:
[14-Nov-2018 17:31:24 UTC] schedule_my_cron()
I've also disabled the normal cronjob for Wordpress in my config file:
define( 'DISABLE_WP_CRON', true );
After this I've created a unix cronjob which works fine. So I'm expecting that when I run the unix cronjob every 5 seconds that I'm getting my mail sent to the address. Whats wrong?
Update
I can confirm that my custom schedule was added successfully, here is part of the output from wp get schedules():
[five_seconds] => Array
(
[interval] => 5
[display] => Alle 5 Sekunden
)

According to the documentation for the function you need to use add_action() for the function being called on schedule, not the function doing the scheduling. The third parameter to wp_schedule_event() is the name of an action hook, not a function name. Try something like this:
register_activation_hook(__FILE__, 'schedule_my_cron');
add_action('init', 'schedule_my_cron',10);
function schedule_my_cron(){
error_log("schedule_my_cron()");
wp_schedule_event(time(), 'five_seconds', 'my_five_second_event');
}
add_action('my_five_second_event', 'my_job');
function my_job() {
error_log("my_job()");
wp_mail('test@localhost.de', 'Cronjob funktioniert!', 'LOL', 'Von IBims');
}
