Per Second Cron Jobs?

Apr 5, 2009

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

Jan 5, 2008

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 ..

Software To Control Cron Jobs?

May 14, 2008

Is there any software which would control cron jobs? I've a problem with cpu load where some customers are running more than enough of them at the same time.

Is there any software which would be able to:

If there are more than x crons running at the same time, put others in queue and execute after there are no more than x-1 are running?

Cron Jobs Not Executing PHP Files

Jun 16, 2008

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?

Determine What Cron Jobs Are Killing Server And When

Jan 8, 2009

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

Mar 12, 2008

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.?

Sep 19, 2007

i have had a problem for some time now, regarding my CRON jobs. I am trying to download a large amount of data from ebay (through their API, totally legal and aboveboard) using php, but my CRONjob times out.

I have tried resetting the timeout variable, but then it exceeds the maximum filesize
SO, my question: is there any way to have a script run as a CRON job, and wen it is complete, call another script?

Reboot Cron Job

Aug 20, 2007

VPS isn't rebooting by itself when it goes down. Anyone has any program/script that monitors heartbeat of the server? Like when it goes down, the program will automatically reboots the system. I know there's such a script out there but I forgot what it called.
