phpgreen Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 Good day all, New member and greetings to all!. This php novice is excited and looking forward to a great learning experience here. One of the tutorial/guide that I am looking for is the Cron job guide/tutorial. Did a search on this site but turned out nothing. Would appreciate anyone direct me to a specific site/s or maybe post one detailed cron job guide in this forum can be beneficial to those needed. Thank you in advance and best wishes to all!

trq Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 Googling cron howto found some 2.5 million pages. This one looks decent enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pquery Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 One thing that might help you is deciding whether you want to use Perl or straight bash scripting for the script you're going to call from the crontab. if you're trying to do something simple like: create a report of large files create a archived backup do a mysql database dump as a backup or even use SAMBA to connect to a windows server on your network to move files these can all be done with bash scripting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
