Wordpess Plugin - cron.php script needs password

[edhkirk]

The script below requires a password "code" in order to move forward.  I have the password, and it executes fine through an HTTP command with a query string.

 

I have to run this file from a unix command from another php file.  I am getting errors when I try to use a session variable to pass the code.  For example:  $_SESSION['code'] = 'f988040a';

 

Is there any way to get the password "code" to this file?

 

 

 

 

 

<?php

 

require_once(dirname(__FILE__) . '/../../../wp-config.php');

                                   

nocache_headers();

 

// if uninstalled, let's not do anything

if(! get_option('wpo_version'))

  return false;

 

// check password

if(isset($_REQUEST['code']) && $_REQUEST['code'] == get_option('wpo_croncode'))

{

require_once( dirname(__FILE__) . '/wpomatic.php' );

 

$wpomatic->runCron();

} else                                                                         

    $wpomatic->log('Warning! cron.php was called with the wrong password or without one!');
