Re: Cron Job Hostgator
I've put what you suggested into my Cron Manager on my HostGator admin panel but I am receiving an email that says: TERM environment variable not set. 1 Any ideas? Thank you as always!

Re: Cron Job Hostgator
You type (paste) something like this into a terminal window: /path/to/cake/console/cake -app /path/to/cake/app you then add the name of the shell you want to run. My cron task is called "hourly" as in my previous post. When running this as a cron job (= automatically) I have found the return from the shell causes problems so I add " >>/ dev/null 2>&1 " at the end which swallows any output. On your Mac you might not want to run it as a cron. But if you do there are applications to download that give you a graphical tool to set cron jobs (or Apple's replacement as the case may be). The actual "cron" tools are aparently now seen av deprecated by Apple (sigh) but they are still there. /Martin On Jan 20, 2:57 pm, Kyle Decot wrote: > I'm really confused about shell tasks.

Re: Cron Job Hostgator
I'm really confused about shell tasks. How would I invoke the task? I know that I would use terminal (I'm on a mac) but how would I do this? Second, how do you automate this process so that it would run every hour? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CakePHP" group.

Re: Cron Job Hostgator
Did you create a shell task?
I used to use a method similar to the one described in the bakery
article you link to. But a while back I switched to using a shell task
(less hacking more cake-friendly support).
A very simple shell might just look like this:
class HourlyShell extends Shell {
function main() {
$this->out("\n".'Hourly shell updates:');
$this->log('Hourly shell updates @ '.date('Y-m-d H:i:s'),
'cron');
// this is one of the few places I use requestAction.
$this->requestAction('/controller/action', array
('return'=>true));
}
}
In defence of requestAction :)
In my cron task I use requestAction for simplicity since performance
problems do not matter to the cron much... and I am calling plugins
and therefore want to have a unified way of calling each one. So I
call a method on "PluginnameController" for each plugin.
and the task should be called using the full paths (to avoid any
guesswork on the part of the shell):
/home/user/cake/cake/console/cake -app /home/user/cake/app hourly >>/
dev/null 2>&1
(That last bit of garbage code is needed so the cron runs ok on my
system. It halts if I pepper it with output)

I also forgot to mention that this website is set up as an addon domain.

Re: Cron Job Hostgator
My guess is that your cron method is looking for a view and cannot find it. Try adding 'exit' to the end of your method code. Also if you are using cakephp 1.2 have a look at http://book.cakephp.org/view/110/Creating-Shells-Tasks _k10_ http://www.innovatechnologies.in On Jan 20, 3:38 am, Kyle Decot wrote: > I'm attempting to implement cron jobs into my website but I'm having a > little trouble.

Cron Job Hostgator
I'm attempting to implement cron jobs into my website but I'm having a little trouble. I created the cron_dispatcher file I found at http://bakery.cakephp.org/articles/view/calling-controller-actions-from-cron-and-the-command-line I then entered the following in my hostgator cron job page under the "command" field: php cron_dispatcher.php /pages/cron But when the job runs and I am notified via email, it says 404 not found. I am guessing that what I am putting in the command field is incorrect. Any Ideas on what would be the proper solution?
