NGPriest: Cron Jobs

Cron Jobs

Dear bloggie…?
(You may have seen me using this before…?)

I was asked by a client to send them a daily email (more like spam? :p) and thought cron job would be easiest?
I was planning on using

0 12 * * */home/username/public_html/filename.php

to run the cron job, but ended up with this error

/usr/local/cpanel/bin/jailshell: /home/username/public_html/filename.php: Permission
denied

I read somewhere that i needed to type my username in, so that became attempt 2…?

0 12 * * * username /home/username/public_html/filename.php

And because this post hasn’t finished yet, you guessed it, another error…

/usr/local/cpanel/bin/jailshell: username: command not found

So, back to the drawing board, how do we get the script to run from jailshell?
Let’s try a different approach? Since the script runs using the mail() function, we just need to call the page?

So, our last attempt…

0 12 * * * /usr/bin/wget http://www.client.tld/filename.php

And to test it?

As for a normal cron job, i’ll still need to look how to work around jailshell… :S

  • I write your name in my breath on the window, Sit and watch as it fades away
  • Hi honey.
    Guess what I did at work today?
    I wore a bomb.
    A nuclear bomb in a field of flowers.
    I could get lucky.
    Tomorrow I could have a bigger bomb.
    I could kill more people.
    Maybe they'll be innocent people.
    Children, maybe.

  • I'll watch the night turn light blue
    But it's not the same without you
    Because it takes two to whisper quietly
    The silence isn't so bad
    Till I look at my hands and feel sad
    Cause the spaces between my fingers
    Are right where yours fit perfectly
