multiple cron job using same file
Hi guys, Today I am posting something about cron. 1 year back, I was getting some trouble in my project in scheduling cron. I had lots of task to be managed by cron, for that I was making multiple files. But after some research I managed those task by a single file. If your cron job accomplish similar tasks or requires the same libraries you will have to include the same files over and over to all your cronjobs ... or use this solution. Let say you have these cron jobs: 0 1 * * * /etc/lib/php -q /home/user/cron/cron1.php 15 1 * * * /etc/lib/php -q /home/user/cron/cron2.php 30 1 * * * /etc/lib/php -q /home/user/cron/cron3.php 0 2 * * * /etc/lib/php -q /home/user/cron/cron4.php And each of these cron jobs perform different tasks but use the same libraries like phpmailer, pdf creator, geoip, payment verification etc... The idea is simple, separate tasks or commands using parameters: 0 1 * * * /etc/lib/php -q /home/user/cron/cron1.php --task=task1 15 1 * * * /etc/lib...
