Free Hosting With Access To Cron Jobs?
I need a reliable, free host where I can run wget on a URL (less than 1k) every 10 minutes via a cron job.
Can anyone reccommend anything?

Per Second Cron Jobs?
Hey everyone, my friend's dad is looking for a web host that will allow his cron jobs to run every second. Most hosts apparently dont allow cron jobs faster than 5 seconds apart. How often a host can run cron jobs isn't really advertised on their sites so I'm having a bit of trouble finding a host. I've resorted to just sending emails to sales addresses asking about it. Does anyone know how I can find a host like this?

Cron Jobs Not Running
I have a machine, that for some reason stopped running it's cron jobs for some reason, and I can figure out how to get them working again. My /etc/crontab file is as follows. SHELL=/bin/bash PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin MAILTO=root HOME=/ # run-parts 01 * * * * root run-parts /etc/cron.hourly 02 4 * * * root run-parts /etc/cron.daily 22 4 * * 0 root run-parts /etc/cron.weekly 42 4 1 * * root run-parts /etc/cron.monthly Here are the contents of a sample user cron file. MAILTO="USER" 10 4 * * * php -q -f /home/USER/public_html/tools/updtransfers.php /home/USER/public_html >/dev/null 2>&1 10 5 * * * php -q -f /home/USER/public_html/tools/updateexp.php /home/USER/public_html >/dev/null 2>&1 10 5 * * * php -q -f /home/USER/public_html/tools/invoice_cron.php /home/USER/public_html >/dev/null 2>&1 and another */5 * * * * /usr/local/bin/php -c /home/USER/php.ini /home/USER/public_html/poller.php > /dev/null 2>&1 I've checked my logs, and I can find no errors anywhere. When I run the commands manually via SSH, they work perfectly, they simply are not being run automatically the way they are supposed to be. I have checked, and the crond service is running. I have tried restarting it, but it seams to have no affect. I really have no idea what the issue is. The only thing I seam to have found at one point, was the possibility that the files within the /etc/cron.d directory might be CHMOD'ed wrong, but I haven't found anything to confirm this either way. [root@server cron.d]# ls -all total 60 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Dec 17 03:07 . drwx--x--x 94 root root 12288 Jan 3 09:28 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 61 Jun 22 2007 csf_update -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 81 Apr 11 2007 lsm -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 79 Jun 22 2007 prm -rw------- 1 root root 366 Feb 23 2007 sa-update -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 82 Jun 22 2007 spri -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 188 Nov 16 23:14 sysstat [root@server cron.d]#

Determine What Cron Jobs Are Killing Server And When
We're running on Linux/Apache/MySQL/RoR and have a number of cron jobs that run throughout the day on our server. We've been noticing lately that at certain times of the day the site becomes really slow. When I'm online with my engineers I can mention this to them and they can check and see and say "Oh yeah, it's job XYZ that's spiking the server load." That's great but much of the time when I notice the sluggishness my developers are offline (we're in different time zones). I'm wondering if there's a fairly easy way to track this when they're not online so we can say "Yup, last night at 10 PM your time when you noticed that it was job ABC." There has to be something that allows you to do this right?

Variable Filenames By Date In Cron Jobs
How do you insert variables in cron jobs? e.g. the current date. Let's say I want to back up a file and append the date to it. 0 0 * * * cp /some/file.txt /some/outputfile_[DATE].txt >/dev/null (note that I'm not sure the cp will actually work like that, it's just an example) Where outputfile_[DATE].txt has the date in it. Are there variables cron can use for date, hour, minute, etc.?

Cron Jobs Not Executing PHP Files
I have a new dedicated server and am trying to set up a cron job via CPanel on on of my accounts (we'll call it "abc" account). In the Cron job area, where it asks for the command to run, I enter this: /home/abc/public_html/forum/class/sendnotice.php But when the job runs, it doesn't seem to be executing the .php file. Instead, I get stuff like this via email: /home/acb/public_html/forum/class/sendnotice.php: line 1: ?php: No such file or directory /home/abc/public_html/forum/class/sendnotice.php: line 2: ////////////////////////////: is a directory /home/abc/public_html/forum/class/sendnotice.php: line 3: //: is a directory /home/abc/public_html/forum/class/sendnotice.php: line 4: //: is a directory /home/abc/public_html/forum/class/sendnotice.php: line 5: //: is a directory /home/abc/public_html/forum/class/sendnotice.php: line 6: //: is a directory /home/abc/public_html/forum/class/sendnotice.php: line 7: //: is a directory /home/abc/public_html/forum/class/sendnotice.php: line 8: //: is a directory /home/abc/public_html/forum/class/sendnotice.php: line 9: //: is a directory So it is as if the cron job is reading each line of the .php file instead of just running it. Am I doing something wrong in setting up the cron job to run that file or could it be a configuration issue with the new server?

Deny Access To Exim For Free Trial Users
INTRODUCTION As owner of a hosting provider company, I face the problem of abusive users almost every day. More than 90% of all abuse on my server comes from free trial accounts. I offer free trial access to my servers for people who want to try things out before they purchase a hosting package, but off course this attracts spammers. To prevent trial users from using my server for spamming purposes, I modified my exim.pl file to prevent trial users from accessing the Exim mail server. Please note that this tutorial has been written for cPanel servers. If you want to use it on a server with a different control panel, you'll need to modify the cpgetpack.c source. If you do so, please share your work with the community by posting it in a reply here. STEP ONE First you’ll need to download, compile and install my cpgetpack.c application. Here’s how: Code: gcc cpgetpack.c -o cpgetpack mv cpgetpack /usr/bin/ chown cpanel:cpanel /usr/bin/cpgetpack chmod +s /usr/bin/cpgetpack STEP TWO Now open the /etc/exim.pl file in your favorite text editor (make a backup first) and look for the following inside the checkuserpass subroutine: Code: $trueowner =~ s////g; $trueowner =~ s/..//g; if (isdemo(${trueowner})) { return('no'); } Below, paste the following code: Code: my $name = getpwuid($uid); open(UP, "cpgetpack $name|"); my $userplan = <UP>; close(UP);chop($userplan); if ($userplan eq "radix_FreeTrial") { return "no"; } You will have to replace the radix_FreeTrial string with the package you assign to your trial users. This will prevent trial users from authenticating which prevents them from sending mail remotely. STEP THREE Users are now still able to send mail locally (for example using the PHP mail() function), so here’s what to do next. Find the checkdemo subroutine in the exim.pl file and replace the complete subroutine with: Code: sub democheck { my $uid = Exim::expand_string('$originator_uid'); if (isdemo($uid)) { return 'yes'; } my $name = getpwuid($uid); open(UP, "cpgetpack $name|"); my $userplan = <UP>; close(UP); chop($userplan); if ($userplan eq "radix_FreeTrial") { return 'yes'; } return 'no'; } STEP FOUR Now just restart Exim: Code: service exim restart It might be a good idea to create a trial account and see if it’s working. Enjoy! REFERENCE: Original post: [url] Best regards, Josh Burt

Shared Hosting With Shell, Cron And Ping/traceroute
I'm looking to set up some custom monitoring stuff that ties into my existing systems, so that's why I'm not looking for established monitoring services. I'm looking for a shared environment where I could ping and trace to my equipment, either from cron or a background daemon which I'd write in perl, python, etc. I'd also want it located somewhere on the left coast or Texas. Does anyone know any hosts that would meet the above?

Looking For A Free Hosting
I've made my first website and I'm trying to find web hosting that is free and that it will also allows me to transfer my files through ftp directly through an ftp server. (ftp.example.com) I've tried using the one for freewebpage.org but it doesn't work.. I tried it using port 21, 22, and 80 in both frontpage and filezilla and they didn't work.. I guess it's the ftp server that isn't really working, or the information they provide is inaccurate.

Free Web Hosting
Me and a few friends decided to start a web site but we don't have a very large member base at the moment so we are on free forum hosting. I thought the next logical step would be to get some free or very inexpensive website hosting that offered a domain name. So I got gfboards.net from Godaddy.com and tried out their free hosting. What is really bothering me is that their ad that they put on the top of every page apparently "interferes" with the registration images on PHPBB and SMF forums. I really don't know a lot about web hosts but this just sounds fishy to me. Should I switch web hosts?

Good Free Hosting For A Freeware Application
I have developed a small application that I want to put somewhere online so that people can download it and use it for free. I'm not much into free hosting so maybe some of you could recommend a good solution. This will be a 2-3 MB download but I don't think there will be any huge traffic. I know sourceforge.net offers hosting for open source software but I don't know yet if I want to make it open source. Preferrably, I would like a web host with a decent likelihood that my address will not change, no overintrusive ads and somewhat reliable. Or perhaps there are dedicated sites for hosting free programs that would better suit my needs?
