You can do something like this for the web server user:
&1 > /dev/null';
//get existing cron entries
exec('crontab -l',$list);
//add new command
$list[] = $cmd;
//may need to change the server var for your setup
$path = dirname($_SERVER['PATH_TRANSLATED']).'/cronout';
//create a cronfile
if($fp = fopen($path,"w")){
foreach($list as $line){
$line = trim($line);
fputs($fp,$line."\n");
}
fclose($fp);
}
//tell cron about it
exec("crontab $path");
?>
Note appending to an existing cron file probably will not work as cron
has to be told to re read it and the webserver user can not do that
usually.

Re: [PHP] Make cron file
So I understand, correct me if i am wrong, that your problem is just to
append a line to the file ?
if that is the case:
//open and place pointer at the end of the file
$fhandler = fopen("file",'a');
fputs($fhandler,$string_with_code);
fclose($fhandler);
if not, the case and you are having bad time trying to explain, i
understand some spanish, so lets review it ;-)
Cheers

Re: [PHP] Make cron file
sorry, my cuestion is about the construction of the job file with php. I send parameters via POST: day, hours, minute, sentence for execuite with cron. This is cached for a php file that make the job file. Well, my problem is make this php file.I think to use file() for this, but maybe somebody think other idea.

Re: [PHP] Make cron file
Juan,
Are you trying to do so from inside a PHP script?
If that is the case, you could do:
$entry = "$min $h $d $m $s $command $comment";
$added = system ("echo $entry >>
/var/spool/cron/tabs/$user", $retval);
if ($retval) {
echo "success";
} else {
echo "failure";
}
Please notice that the code is not tested!
Let us know if that helped!

Re: [PHP] Make cron file
I do not understand what is the problem, you just add the the time format as should be and put the following at the beginning of your script: #!/usr/local/bin/php -q (or your path to the php interpreter) then you simply add the line (crontab -e) 0 3 * * * /area_backup/bin/sync.php [args] hope it helps, and yes, this is probably the wrong list mate ;-) Cheers, On Tue, Sep 28, 2004 at 11:47:51AM -0400, John Nichel wrote: > Juan Pablo Herrera wrote: > >Hi! > >I need make a cron file, for example a .job file: > >#mi hodimeseq jobcomment > >45 11** 0-5 php -q /home/test/test.php # Make backup > >How can make it?. > > How about asking on the proper list?
