I Use JCRON and it works well.
I use the type fopen() and fsockopen().

I am used to copy my libe site to a local XAMPP-site, so I can test new options offline.

At thos moment the Jcron command has an absolute address starting with
http://www.mydomain.com/commandline.php

This results in the situation that the online cronjob is started from my local offline website when I am testing

How can I avoid this? Is a non-absolute run-command possible with out the http:// and the doaminname ??
Like:
/commandline.php

Or can I inclued a variable for the domain?

Hi there! Why not use your local url address, like http://localhost/commandline.php to run that script?

Thanks for your answer.

I try to make the site so that it can be run on both the online as the offline site, without any change.
That's the easiest way to not forget a change.

Do you think localhost will work on the online site?

If you are referring to the cron, it will only run when you have frontend activity, so i am not sure if for a local site, it will work properly

Hi there,

I tried the following on the Online-site:

Type= fopen()
I entered In Run Command: http://localhost/crontest.php

I got the following log:

============================

when I replace the localhost with the actual domainname it works OK.

What did I wrong here, or is localhost not possible on the online site ??

Try replacing localhost with 127.0.0.1 and see if it helps
