How do I run an on-page cron job?

Discussion in 'Apache' started by qwikad.com, Aug 5, 2016.

    Currently all my cron jobs are done though the cron job scheduler. I'd like to somehow be independent of that. I saw a thread on stackoverflow, but I am still not sure how to implement it to this or that particular page:

    http://stackoverflow.com/questions/...url-address-every-5-minutes/20267276#20267276

    Do I simply place a line similar to this into a php page?

    
    */5 * * * * curl --request GET 'http://exemple.com/path/check.php?param1=1&param2=2'
    
    Code (markup):
    Need some clarification.

    There are lots of scripts for running cron jobs like that. I can't remember which one I used but it's triggered by page views (google, human) and reads a database table to see what it needs to do.

    And that's precisely what I need, a script that would "visit" or "reload" a page internally ever so often so that the DP would get updated. Sounds simple enough, but I spent a couple hours today searching for that script and ended up with nothing.

    I am using easycron.com for my cron jobs. You can tried using this url: exemple.com/path/check.php?param1=1&param2=2
    .

    I ain't paying for something that should be free. I just want to repeat myself, I need a script that I can place into the pages to run cron jobs independent of any cron job scheduler(s). Hostgator allows me to schedule all kinds of cron jobs and I am happy with that, no need for another service. A script is what I need (if it even exists). Thanks for the tip though.
