cronjob in cakephp 1.3

2013-06-21 Thread Chris 
Hi guys,... can anyone help please 
I'm trying to run cronjob and execute function update() in 
guests_controller.php to remove outdated raws from guests table with field 
ending. 
I run it in ssh to test on server e.g. /usr/bin/php -f 
/home/path_to/my_domain.com/html/app/controllers/guests_controller/update 
so is the /usr/bin/php -f 
/home/path_to/my_domain.com/html/app/controllers/guests_controller.php/update 

but it gives me an error .../html/app/controllers/guests_controller/update 
 AND/OR .../html/app/controllers/guests_controller.php/update Could not be 
found

and here is my function in guests_controller.php: 

   function update()
{
$this-layout = null;
Configure::write('debug', 0);

  $today_date = date('Y-m-d H:i:s');
$guests = $this-Guest-find('all');

foreach ($guests as $guest)
{
if($guest['Guest']['ending'] = $today_date)
{
$this-Guest-delete($guest['Guest']['id']);
}
}
}

thanks in advance 
chris

Hi Chris,

Add this file cron_dispatcher.php under /app/webroot/.

Then to call the function from ssh you need to write it like this:-

/usr/bin/php  path_to_your_project_webroot/cron_dispatcher.php
/guests/update

thanks marco,... it works !!!

we need to include this code into a function in a controller: 


   function update()
{

if (!defined('CRON_DISPATCHER')) 
{ 
$this-redirect('/'); exit(); 
}
