I want to set cron job using codeigniter, in godaddy shared hosting i used the following code to execute movies controller's cool method.
/web/cgi-bin/php5 "$HOME/html/MOVIESDOM.COM/index.php" movies cool
Problem is it always execute default controller.
Pls tell me how to execute movies controller's cool method
you need to create routing directives for it.
$route['movies'] = "movies/cool";
assuming that you have movies.php in your application/controllers/ directory and it is coded something similar to this
class Movies extends CI_Controller
{
public function __construct()
{
parent::__construct();
}
public function index()
{
// you can do some other options as opposed to just cool method //
}
/*
* @cool method
* execute cron job
*/
public function cool()
{
//put your cron here
// don't forget to run it on the background
//catch cron-job log here if needed
//if cron-job is successful return something or return true.
}
public function cron_status()
{
//this will check if the cron job log file exists
// check the cron job status
// if a success return something
//call this method in the index method above, but make sure the reporting is only available to the administrator of the site.
}
//end of the class
}
Another feasible option is to create a cron-job libraries and just load it whenever it is needed.
The dude can also test it on his CLI like so,
php /the_main_cron_class.php movies/cool
@veedeoo Is my command correct
@lorenzoDAlipio after setting up route config, it still executing home page

Hola Luis, gracias pero la próxima vez, por favor, en Inglés.
After further researching I was able to determine that there are two modes to php running: cgi or cli. Upon testing with php -v in shell I confirmed it was configured for cli, but running the same with a Cron job I saw the result being php running as cgi.
To resolve this I reconfigured my Cron job as follows:
/usr/local/bin/php /home/overstoc/www/admin/index.php cron update
I assume the default php that the Cron job is calling has a configuration for cgi where the server share is cli.
