sanzeeb Posted July 19, 2007 Author Share Posted July 19, 2007 i want to inform through email to my clients in a particular time automatically , how to do it ? Cron job. thank you Caesar but there is one question more, if i use corn job then i must have access to modify the etc/corntab in any linux server, generally when we hosting a site then we dont have the permission to modify any server scripts like corntab unless its a dedicated server. is there any other solution to do the job avoiding this problem?

Caesar Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 Not entirely true. On many 'shared' hosting plans that use stuff like cpanel, they will allow you to set up your own cron jobs. Fairly easily too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooldude832 Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 if not many people provide external crontab access so that you can have a psedo cron tab by having another server ping your cron job page. they might cost you a monthly fee, but it be better than switching hosting companies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 If you don't have access to the crontab, then you most certainly won't have access to the init scripts required to run a service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
