Cron Job Set up issue

Hi guys,

I'm struggling with the cron job set up in my cpanel account from Namecheap.
My tracker asked me to set the field "minute" as "*" (which means every minute),
but the smallest time interval I can set there is "*/5" (which means every 5 minutes).

Does anyone have a suggestion?
I think this wrong set up causes problems in the postback tracking.

Only put one * in the minute spot

Running cron jobs with intervals of less than 5 minutes is not allowed on namecheap shared hosting. Get VPS or dedicated hosting for 1 minute intervals.

If you have problems figuring out / understanding the crontab syntax especially those "funny stars" you should checkout this site: https://crontab.guru.

You can also check their examples https://crontab.guru/examples.html.

Helped me in lot of cases.
