Installed Nextcloud while preparing to transfer from Owncloud - CRON not running.

While transferring settings I changed the CRON setting from AJAX to CRON (as it was in Owncloud) and it seems this does not work in Nextcloud. I entered the jail and checked the "crontab -u www -l" and the entry is identical (corrected for the path) to Owncloud.

I tried running the command:

*/15 * * * * /usr/pbi/nextcloud-amd64/bin/php -f /usr/pbi/nextcloud-amd64/www/nextcloud/cron.php

but it doesn't want to under the root user and couldn't figure out how to run it as "www".

EDIT: Install "sudo" to change user by entering jail and installing using:

pkg install nano wget sudo

I then ran the cron job manually with:

sudo -u www /usr/pbi/nextcloud-amd64/bin/php -f /usr/pbi/nextcloud-amd64/www/nextcloud/cron.php

And confirmed that the job ran by verifying the settings/admin page:

Cron Last cron job execution: seconds ago.

It's almost as if the cron deamon isn't running.

Upgraded to 11.2 and it works but it could also be because the system rebooted (which I can't recall if I tried that).
