    The system may have logs build up.
    Are you processing Credit Cards locally, this wont get done.

    How do I know if cron is running ok

    So does this mean I should receive an email if cron is not running? we dont use recurring billing? How do I know if I cron is working ok? Do i need to set up cron jobs?

    You should set up a cron job. If you have it set incorrectly, amember will give you an error in the admin page that cron hasnt run in XX hours.

    How do I set up a cron job? what should this cron job do? Is it cron jobs that send out emails from aMember, for example when a subscription is about to expire?
