Can you do a cron job on a PHP prog? > > Russ Jones Never tried it but on linux (RHL or Fedora) I would add a file to /etc/cron.daily with something like this in it /usr/bin/php /usr/local/bin/myjob.php where myjob.php is the php script. if it runs from the command link now it should work. This will run as root of course and if you wnated it to be run as someone else you could probably add the line: 0 2 * * * username /usr/bin/php /usr/local/bin/myjob.php to /etc/crontab or the users crontab without the username field. hth Bret -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
