Re: Run a cron job in cakephp
My workers are just PHP. I've got one doing curl stuff to transfer big files, and another to drive ffmpeg for slow encodes. You can write your Gearman clients in pretty much anything, though. They've got a bunch of client libraries. The PHP one is pretty comprehensive, and I've experimented with python workers, too. You can also post status updates back from the worker if you want to do an ajax progress bar or something. There's a fair amount of stuff out there about gearman, but I found this especially useful: http://tinyurl.com/y8vyc8f I suppose we've left cake territory here, tho... -e On Fri, Nov 4, 2011 at 11:29 AM, Werner Petry Moraes wrote: > Hi, > that cake method you call from within the worker, is it written as a shell? > Or how do you do it? > I'm not familiar with gearman, but I think I'm gonna need it soon. > thanks > atenciosamente, > Werner Petry Moraes > werne...@gmail.com > > > On Fri, Nov 4, 2011 at 06:16, Eric Blanpied wrote: >> >> I think the best way to do it is with a queue.

Re: Run a cron job in cakephp
Cron is not only for particular times, its also for recurring events. It certainly does make sense if you simply set your task to check what time it is before executing. Then you just "try" to run it every minute (or every page load), and it will fire only at the appropriate time. This makes a lot of sense for something like triggered notifications which don't happen until X days after X event, and aren't at any particular time, but instead are relative time. -- Our newest site for the community: CakePHP Video Tutorials http://tv.cakephp.org Check out the new CakePHP Questions site http://ask.cakephp.org and help others with their CakePHP related questions.

Re: Run a cron job in cakephp
I think the best way to do it is with a queue. After doing several websites in which cron jobs were used for various not-so-cron things (cron job to wake up periodically and check for needed tasks? why not just spawn the tasks?), I came to the conclusion that a job queue was a much smarter answer. Accordingly, I've just woven Gearman (http://gearman.org/) into one of our cake projects, with a very simple component wrapping the gearman client. The workers are pure php, with no knowledge of the app or database, reducing dependencies as well as possible. The client passes the workers json-encoded parameters, and the workers call a cake method when done, again with json-encoded return data, and cake makes any database updates as appropriate. Now we can do all sorts of things outside of the user's browser session, and in the future could move these things off to a different server if we wished. Of course, if your other tasks were very much cake-related, and you wanted them to use the framework, I see no reason why you couldn't write your workers within the framework. There are other queue/messaging systems out there (beanstalk's got a good following), but in my research I liked what gearman had to offer best. There's also Persson's cakephp Queue plugin, but I wanted a lighter system, with no cake dependencies on the worker side. -e On Fri, Nov 4, 2011 at 8:12 AM, flo.kl...@googlemail.com wrote: > What about using javascript.

RE: Run a cron Job
Ok, thanks, I want the cron to run by its self at a specific time. SoI do not have to do it myself daily. Can this be done in your approach? New to cron set up. Will check into the shell approach.

I do cron tasks by creating Cake shell tasks and from there I do a requestAction if I really need to call an action. This is what I tell cron: /ful/path/to/cake/console/cake -app /full/path/to/app shellname >>/dev/ null 2>&1 The last bit (dev/null and that) makes the shell totally silent which is needed unless you want the cron to terminate unexpectedly. But when testing yourself you should leave that out so you can see the output. On Sep 27, 6:27 pm, "Dave Maharaj :: WidePixels.com" wrote: > Trying to set up an action to run at a specific time.
