secure cron jobs

Recommended Posts

I have a server with apache/cpanel 10.

 

I started a new cron command which succeeds in calling a file:

 

php /home/my_site/public_html/cron/messages_cron.php

 

Problem: I don't want some random user trying to access the script. Therefore, I tried moving it into a different folder than public_html

 

Example:

 

php /home/my_site/cron/messages_cron.php

 

Problem: I needed to include a file called core.php which was located in public_html, and I couldn't figure out a way to do so. Any ideas? I tried:

 

require_once "../public_html/filename.php";

 

That didn't seem to work.
