Monk3h Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 Is it possible to secure a cron by: <?PHP $IP = (isset($_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR']))?$_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR']:$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']; if ($IP = $SERVERIP){ $CRONSCRIPT } ?> Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/117432-solved-cron-security/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
discomatt Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 What? Why not just throw it in a directory outside of webroot? Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/117432-solved-cron-security/#findComment-604072 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nhoj Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 The best way to secure a cron job would be to put it outside an accessable directory. For example, if your web documents are served from /home/user/public_html, put your crons in /home/user/crons, that way no one can access them except the server itself or people with FTP access.

trq Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 In where? Cron expects full paths to files, so, give it the complete path. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/117432-solved-cron-security/#findComment-604168 Share on other sites More sharing options...
