# Checking the setup of the scheduler extension {#setup-check}

The scheduler check provides useful information for setting up cronjobs.

The first message shows when the scheduler was last run. If it was never run
there will be a warning displayed.

The second messages tells you which command (with absolute paths) must be
executed by the cron job.

The third message shows information about the current server time.
