saltymule Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 Is there a way to tell a server to take an action on even periods of time?I have a site where all the actions are made when a user clicks a link or opens a page.There are certain actions i would like to happen once every 15 minutes, or once a day.I've thought of having a php page that has all these functions that refreshes itself once every 15 minutes, but that seems a bit asinine.I'm guessing there might be an easy answer out there, and I was hoping for some suggestions.

paul2463 Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 yes its called a CRON job, check your server for how to set it up, its like windows scheduled tasks, you tell it when you want a script run and it does if for you Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/35666-system-initiated-scripts/#findComment-168951 Share on other sites More sharing options...
