In some projects there are tasks that need to be assigned on a schedule. Such as check the ssl registration once per year or run security checks every 3 months

1. cd </path/to/redmine/dir>
2. git clone https://github.com/wate/redmine_periodic_task.git plugins/periodictask
3. bundle install
4. bundle exec rake redmine:plugins:migrate NAME=periodictask RAILS_ENV=production
5. restart Redmine

After you installed the plugin you can add it as a module to a project that already exists or activate it as default module for new projects. On each project it will add a new tab named "Periodic Task" - just go there to add your tasks.

1. cd </path/to/redmine/dir/>plugins/periodictask
2. git pull
3. bundle install
4. bundle exec rake redmine:plugins:migrate NAME=periodictask RAILS_ENV=production
5. restart Redmine

1. cd </path/to/redmine/dir>
2. bundle exec rake redmine:plugins:migrate NAME=periodictask VERSION=0 RAILS_ENV=production
3. rm -rf plugins/periodictask
4. restart Redmine

Go to your console and run which bundle. In my case, that command returned bundle. Use that to configure cron like this

As root do crontab -e and add this to the last line

0 1 * * * cd </path/to/redmine/dir>; bundle exec rake redmine:check_periodictasks RAILS_ENV=production

You can also make it run once per hour

0 * * * * cd </path/to/redmine/dir/>; bundle exec rake redmine:check_periodictasks RAILS_ENV=production

Or even every 10 minutes

*/10 * * * * cd </path/to/redmine/dir/>; bundle exec rake redmine:check_periodictasks RAILS_ENV=production

If you want to substitute variables **DAY**, **WEEK**, **MONTH**, **MONTHNAME**, **YEAR**, **PREVIOUS_MONTHNAME**, **PREVIOUS_MONTH** with a localized version in your laguage please add LOCALE=ja (available are de, en, ja, tr, ru, tr, zh) to cronjob like this

0 * * * * cd </path/to/redmine/dir/>; bundle exec rake redmine:check_periodictasks RAILS_ENV=production LOCALE=ja

redmine 4.1 - 5.0
