# Admin

Welcome to the Admin documentation this page explains some of the configuration options for news.
Welcome to the Admin documentation.

## System Cron
## Administration via OCC

News integrates with Nextclouds command line tool occ.

To get an overview over the available commands simply execute `./occ list news`

In most environments you will have to call occ like this:

```bash
sudo -u www-data php ./occ list news
```

More information about occ here: [Nextcloud Admin Manual](https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/latest/admin_manual/configuration_server/occ_command.html)

## Settings

The following sections explain some of the more complicated settings on the admin page.

### System Cron

Nextcloud uses cron to run regular jobs, News relies on the Job system to execute the feed updates.
Alternatively you may use an [external updater](https://nextcloud.github.io/news/clients/#update-clients), in this case you need to disable the system cron in the settings.

## Update Interval
### Update Interval

The update interval is used to determine when the next update of all feeds should be done.
By default, the value is set to 3600 seconds (1 hour) You can configure this interval as an administrator.
The new value is only applied after the next run of the updater.
