I am plannning to use whenever gem which among other things will also run minutely rake task. If my rake task takes more than a minute then based on the output from whenever gem it seems like the second instance of the rake task will kick-in even though the first one is not quite finished. Will whenever gem will wait for the miutely tas...
Hi, I'm using CodeIgniter (a PHP framework) to build an app, and I have an every-minute job to run with the program, 24 hours a day. I currently have it set up as: example.com/controller/runthis and that executes the job I want, but cron doesn't visit the URL as a user, it executes a script as far as I know. Do I just write a script ...
I've put this script together to updated a folder of forked Github repositories on a daily basis. It runs fine if I call it from a prompt, but I can' figure out how to make it utilize my id_rsa reliably when it is run as a cron job. the eval 'ssh-agent' is an attempt to do just that, but it doesn't seen to have any positive affect. #!/b...
Hi, I'm trying to write a web frontend for Crontab in Ruby using the excellent CronEdit gem. I went through Dillon Cron's crontab source code and found that it updates a particular file so that the daemon will refresh the cron list during the next sweep. In man crontab for VixieCron, it says: Additionally, cron checks each minute to ...
I ran into this date and time constraint problem earlier this week, and haven't really found any good approach for an algorithm. Each idea I get grinds to a halt with something like what if this is a leap year? or what if this is run on the night when we change to/from DST Input: A crontab expression (wikipedia on CRON format,Cron). F...
Hello, I am trying to send an email, via php's mail function to user's every 15 days to remind them of a particular item (no worries, nothing spam related). I unfortunately do not have access to cron, so I think I would need some sort of client side solution (is this correct?). A link to get me started or a general outline of what I n...
I'm trying to get familiar with cron jobs, and I think I get the basic idea (scheduling, syntax, etc), But, I can't seem to get it right on my mac with Terminal - where exactly do I find the Crontab? How should I reference the paths to scripts? What I'm trying to do is hit a php script on a remote machine (http://...) - Is that possible...
hello there is something i've realized with quartz when working.Say a cron is set to wake up every 2min with the expression 0 0/2 * * * ? . When you run the project at say 13:10:30, the first action happens at 13:12:00 and the second 13:14:00 and every 2min 0 second for the rest. Obviously between the startup of the project and the firs...

Could you rewrite this into a cron that will run every day for longer than 30 seconds. Also, do i need to edit the .htaccess or php.ini file in the cron.php directory to say something. Over the browser it runs just fine for longer than 30 seconds, over the shell, it runs just fine too. But as a cron set task, it dies after 30 seconds. Im...

I am making an auction website, which has an auto-bid system. This system lets people make biddings without having to be there. My question is how to implement such a system. I have made the php files and everything is ready, I've made a html page which refreshes every second. It works, but I'm wondering if there's a better solution. T...

I run a large data warehouse plant where we have a lot of nightly jobs running concerruently however many have dependencies on a extract or data load process before they start.

I need to call a Kohana helper (or any php MVC framework) from a Cron job. How can I do this? The server is Linux, so, I can only think of two possible solutions: 1- Open an URL from the cron job, which hits a controller and does what it has to do. 2- Call a Kohana controller without passing through the web server, but with the PHP CLI. ...
