Joomla!®Plug

Hello,

Congratulation for JCron, it is a nice component. Let's see if I can use to my needs.

I need to execute a PHP script every minute.

I was using my server side crontab like this:
* * * * * wget -O - -q -t 1 'http://amimusa.net/myScript.php' > /dev/null

At the production server I can't access to console so i find JCron the thing I need.

I set a new Job like:
Type: Web Address (fopen)
Command to Run: http://amimusa.net/myScript.php
Checked published mark

But the script is not executed.

What am I missing or setting wrong?

Thank you so much for your time.

May all being be happy
OM SHANTI SHANTI SHANTI OM

JCron depends on your site frontend to be active and since you want to use the Web address type then you also need to have allow_url_fopen variable set to On in your site php.ini config, otherwise it would be better to use the fsockopen option

Hi Ovidiu,

Thanks for your quick replay.

I've changed to fsockopen Type, but the command is not executed yet and no logs received.

I paste jos_jcron_tasks content
+----+--------------+------+-----------+-----------+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+---------------------+----+----------+
| id | task | type | published | mhdmd | file | ran_at | ok | log_text |
+----+--------------+------+-----------+-----------+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+---------------------+----+----------+
| 1 | Handler | 2 | 1 | * * * * * | http://amimusa.net/uriToMyPHPScript | 2009-01-14 16:46:42 | 1 | DONE |
+----+--------------+------+-----------+-----------+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+---------------------+----+----------+

Also I don't understand well when you say that JCron depends on my site frontend.

I will appreciate your help.

In order for the cron to run you need to have frontend activity on your site to trigger the cron process

... if I play at the site frontend it is executed, but then ... I am not sure I will get what I need since I can't ensure the site frontend will have requests every minute ...

could you clarify it for me, please ?

thank you so much for your time,

JCron has it's limitations, this being one of them, i would advise looking for a server based tool to fit your needs
