Cron Setup

[phpretard]

I know how to setup cron.  I need to know if there is a way to setup cron via php.

 

For example.  When you install wordpress or Joomla there is a wizard of sort to install the database and configure some files. 

 

Is there such a script to do the same with cron?

You can execute any programs you like via the exec functions.

So I have files in a Plesk Skeleton for newly added domains. 

 

Within the files there are a few that requires cron for the site to run properly.

 

With exec() I can write this into linux?

I have no idea what that means, but with exec, you can execute Linux commands.

I'm not sure I do either

 

Can I write $this into linux using exec() not having to use SSH or Plesk?

 

$this="*/1 * * * * /usr/bin/php /var/www/vhosts/website.net/httpdocs/a_assign_appraiser.php"

You can, but its far from a valid command. Firstly, cron jobs need to go in a users crontab file. Secondly, the user apache runs as will need to have sufficient permissions to act as this user to add jobs to crontab.

 

Instead of explaining how you need to do things, explain (in basic terms) what it is you want to do. There might be easier ways.

I don't want to have to manually set up a cron job everytime I set up a domain

I don't want to have to manually set up a cron job everytime I set up a domain

 

Firstly, why would you need to? Secondly, why wouldn't you just script this into whatever script adds the domain?

 

Once again, I think your only telling half the story.
