Hi [@Nathangeerinck](/user/Nathangeerinck) , what is the status on this?

Increased to 500 characters, anything above that will require you to create a script on your server and call that via cron:

```
nano my-cronjob.sh
chmod +x my-cronjob.sh
```

Cronjob configuration command:

`bash /home/ploi/my-cronjob.sh`
