corbeeresearch Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Hi, After successfully creating a cron job that runs a php script to update the database. I thought everything was okay until I saw that outside public_html there are LOTS of duplicates of cron.php.n Where n are numbers. I suspect cron jobs are causing these. Does anyone knows why this is happening? and Is there something I could do to stop the system from generating something like this? I also a lot of dbn.sdb I'm not sure if this is related too.

rbrown Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 It sounds like the script you are calling in the cron is making the files. I have scripts that create database backups daily and it stores them below the public folders so no one can "see" them and also can email them to me. So you need to look in your scripts first and adjust the scripts for your needs.
