Using

This package implements the following commands:

wp cron

wp cron test

Tests the WP Cron spawning system and reports back its status.

wp cron test

This command tests the spawning system by performing the following steps:

Checks to see if the DISABLE_WP_CRON constant is set; errors if true because WP-Cron is disabled.
Checks to see if the ALTERNATE_WP_CRON constant is set; warns if true.
Attempts to spawn WP-Cron over HTTP; warns if non 200 response code is returned.
