I've just noticed that many people may have a free remote cron facility without realising it.
If you have any domains registered with Godaddy, you get free web space that includes a cron facility. It only runs every half hour, but you could set six jobs at 5 min intervals to get an effective 5-minute poll, which is good enough for many purposes. You could use it to check uptime on another site, for example. Has anyone tried this?
how to transfer file(s) from remote server to remote ftp using ssh(on remote server)?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have windows servers that I'll be co-locating very soon. I have purchased a Dell 2161ds-2 and an APC remote boot power strip. Could someone please tell me the best way to secure remote access to these products. Do I put them on public IP's and allow them through the firewall or do I put them behind the firewall and access them after I authenticate through the firewall.

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?
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?
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.

View 2 Replies View RelatedSimply wondering, does cron timeout?
I have heard mixed reports and can't find any good info. Personally i've run a cronjob for up to 6 minutes, but as my best method was sending myself emails through php, its not exactly a highly accurate testing method.
On the same note, what would happen if one cronjob is running a php script for over 10 minutes, then another cron job starts on the same script, before the first one has finished?
I have my own server. I create php file for adding cronjobs. I checked /etc/cron.deny and /etc/cron.allow. both of them is empty so no problem. I execute the php script but nothing : I check with crontab -u user l and it told me no cronjobs for that user. When I access as root from ssh and try teh same command, it works fine. I don't understand how to fix that.
View 0 Replies View RelatedI have a bit of a strange problem, I have an rsync command setup in the servers crontab and from the cron log it show it ran the command but the files don't copy to the backup server. If I take the rsync syntax and run it manually all the files copy across with no errors, but I can't figure out why the cronjob doesn't work properly.
View 8 Replies View RelatedWe are running cpanel on one of our servers. Several cron jobs were deleted from the cron panel of one acct. I have no idea of the paths to re-enter these jobs. Is their a log file on the server that will show cron job history from previous runs so I can recover the proper paths?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI want to set up a cron job to make daily back-ups of my database, but by turning my site off first.
This is how I envisage it to work:
1: rename '.htacess' (in public_html folder for the site) to .htaccess-open
2: rename '.htaccess-closed' to .htaccess
// this closes the site down so no-one can write/access the db (they are basically shown a 'site down for maintenance' page - I already have the code for this)
3: mysqldump --opt (DB_NAME) -u (DB_USERNAME) -p(DB_PASSWORD) > /path/to/dbbackup-$(date +%m%d%Y).sql
// this backs up the database
4: wait for 3 to finish
5: rename '.htaccess' to .htaccess-closed
6: rename '.htacess-open' to .htaccess
// this opens the site back upIs this easy enough to do? Anyone got any tips/pointers?
I've got limited knowledge in scripting so I've come to the interweb for help. Google hasn't answered any of my queries so the trusty WHT is next.
I'm trying to create a script cron that will email my clients once per month with space and bandwidth useage reminders. I'd prefer not to have to set up crons in each individual account, but rather email all with tokening including |name| |bandwidth| |space| out of the allowed space & bandwidth according to the clients package.
I've been reading through tutorials for setting up cron commands via cPanel, but everything I have tried does not work. What I need to do is simple - I just want to run a php file on my server once every 15 minutes.

I would like to have MySQLDUMP dump my specified database(s) into a specified folder using date and time stamps in the filename.
I've done some searching on this but haven't really came up with a way to do all of this at once, or if I may need to setup a cron job to rename the file after the dump has completed. I may be going about this all wrong to begin with, I'm just looking for a very simple and reliable way to backup my databases.
I'm testing this on a Shared Web Host account at this time which does have SSH shell access, but I wasn't sure if this makes a difference.

My crontab uses Wget to access a PHP file. It works just fine; however, the only problem is that each time the crontab is run it creates a file in the root of my site called filename.php.10XX
filename is the name of the file that Wget runs and 10xx is just the number of times the tab has been run.
How can I prevent these files from being created?
