Devdocs: Update/cron.php does not exist

[camdixon]

Feedback on page: /guides/v2.2/config-guide/cli/config-cli-subcommands-cron.html

When I installed my cron from this page, it generated this crontab as my user which the docs said it would. However, the update/cron.php does not exist. Since it appends to a log file at the bottom I give you the output of my log file.

@camdixon: this thread might contain some useful info for you: https://github.com/magento/magento2/issues/10040#issuecomment-311775893

Yes, it is useful, but then what about the dev docs for the cron that does the update? @magento-engcom-team didn't make a decision about this yet it seems. The command line cron installer adds this update cron. Also, I'm now curious is it actually required?

We are re-organizing our unresolved GH issues into smaller, more focused projects, and have moved this to the Installation and Configuration Documentation project.

This is fixed in 2.3.4. We need to investigate this to see what still needs updating in this topic. @atwixfirster, would you be able to look into this?

@dobooth ,

Per my opinion you can close this issue because of merged:

• https://github.com/magento/magento2/pull/24187
• https://github.com/magento/devdocs/pull/6428

From my side, there is nothing to add here.

Thank you!
