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) ?PHP php code here ? 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!

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
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
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 On Tue, Sep 28, 2004 at 01:45:09PM -0300, Juan Pablo Herrera wrote: sorry, my cuestion is about the construction of the job file with php.

You can do something like this for the web server user:
?php
//new command to add
$cmd = '40 * * * * /usr/local/apache/bin/clearopensmtp 21 /dev/null';
//get existing cron entries
exec('crontab -l',$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.
