AOE Scheduler Heartbeat Not Working?

[brandontamm]

@andreaskoch - When I goto System > Scheduler > Job Configuration ... I get a Magento notice that "No heartbeat task found. Check if cron is configured correctly. (See Instructions)"

I went to project root on staging server and used "sudo crontab -u www-data -e" to insert the following configuration (as directed by the instructions link:)

• * * * * ! test -e /var/www/html/web/maintenance.flag && /bin/bash /var/www/html/web/scheduler_cron.sh --mode always
• * * * * ! test -e /var/www/html/web/maintenance.flag && /bin/bash /var/www/html/web/scheduler_cron.sh --mode default

I still got the Magento notice. Tried "sudo service cron restart" and cron was restarted. Cleared cache...Still getting the same Magento notice.

Any ideas?

@andreaskoch - Do you have cron running in your instance? How did you achieve it? A lot of things depend on cron and I haven't been able to get it working :(

@brandontamm - I am not an authority in this area but, maybe the solution is to use a cron container.
I found https://github.com/fballiano/docker-magento2-cron, maybe this could help.

@timrsfo - I actually got this working perfect by adding funnctions for creating and updating cron entries to the install.sh script for installer container and adding a volume link to the docker-compose volume. If anyone needs help with this, I can spend some time doing a PR

If anyone is having this issue, check the diff file to get CRON working for AOEScheduler:

I can create a pull request if anyone is using this project and actually wants me to :)
