I am trying to set up a cron job for SNAP Pro using a popular Mac app called “LaunchControl”. I have no experience with this app, or with setting up cron jobs and creating plist files on Mac OS X.
I have tried to create the cron job with the little information I have, but I keep getting an error 78 in the LaunchControl app.
If anyone here has successfully used LaunchControl to set up a cron job for SNAP Pro, I would really appreciate your help.
Also, it would really be great if NextScripts provided a tutorial for this, just as they do for other platforms on their “WP-Cron: Scheduling Tasks in WordPress” page.
Thanks in advance!
June 6, 2018 at 11:07 am #558940After a certain amount of frustration, and some help from the developer of the LaunchControl app, I was finally able to properly set up a cron job for SNAP Pro this afternoon. To be honest, as a Premium API paying customer, I am disappointed that after more than a week, NextScripts has failed to even address my inquiry here.
I still think it would be a good idea for NextScripts to add a tutorial regarding how to set up the cron job on a Mac OS X machine. It is not fair to us paying Mac users, that the tutorial only addresses WP-Cron scheduling tasks for cPanel and Plesk.
June 7, 2018 at 6:19 pm #558949I wanted to offer a big tip for fellow Mac OS X users who may be having difficulty getting their cron job to work for SNAP Pro.
As mentioned above, in my case, I purchased and used the app called LaunchControl. However, I kept getting an exit error of 78 with the app.
Then I discovered why, what was wrong, and how to fix it.
The problem is that by default, WordPress’s “wp-cron.php” file does NOT have a shebang line — or interpreter line — at the very top of it. You need to add it yourself. This is the line which begins with “#!”. After typing “#!” — without the quote marks — you need to add the path where your PHP binary is located.
As soon as I did that, my cron job started working, and I am happily posting to my social networks again via SNAP Pro.
I hope this bit of information helps other Mac OS X users out there.
January 11, 2026 at 3:21 pm #596746Salut, après une longue journée, je cherchais un moyen de me détendre un peu. J’ai activé les bonus pour les nouveaux joueurs en France et commencé à explorer le win hero . Les premières parties n’étaient pas très fructueuses et j’ai perdu quelques manches, mais en persévérant et en prenant un petit risque, j’ai obtenu un gain agréable. Une manière simple et efficace de passer le temps.
