How To Do V1 Crons ( Hope This Will Help )

[SoulOfDeath]

I noticed Kraig needs help and that V1 are bit more harder to do than v2.

this is how you do them :

i uploaded them to my normal files not in the crons/are/not/4/u folder find it easier like this

First i renamed the hospital.php cron hospital1.php (as there are 2 hospital.php)

 

curl http://game-name/fedupdate.php 0 0 * * *

curl http://game-name/daysold.php 0 0 * * *

curl http://game-name/jobpay.php 1 7 * * *

curl http://game-name/orgcrime.php 0 * * * *

curl http://game-name/braveupdate.php */5 * * * *

curl http://game-name/enerwillupdate.php */5 * * * *

curl http://game-name/hospital1.php * * * * *

 

Hope this a help :-)

Please Contact me if anything is wrong also remember to upload them like a normal file for these instructions to work :wink:

I found that doing it this way means that anyone can run your crons. You can password protect then by putting this code at the top:

if ($_GET['pass'] != 'Your_pass')
{
die("Go away");
}

Then in the crons table put ?pass=Your_pass

e.g.

http://game-name/daysold.php?pass=Your_pass

NOTE: Change the "Your_pass" to something else

Hers an example of what my cron table looks like. NOTE: I have combined my crons into less crons so they are less in the table.

Re: How To Do V1 Crons ( Hope This Will Help )

i see your crons are organized different from the original but yes i see what you have done thanks for adding that :-)

[Will]

Re: How To Do V1 Crons ( Hope This Will Help )

[Will]

Re: How To Do V1 Crons ( Hope This Will Help )

I don't use the beginner one as I will waste valuable time scrolling down the page.

Re: How To Do V1 Crons ( Hope This Will Help )

Re: How To Do V1 Crons ( Hope This Will Help )

[Will]

Re: How To Do V1 Crons ( Hope This Will Help )

Why would you need to change the mysql.phph file?

[CraigF]

Another suggestion is moving the crons to a folder OUTSIDE of the public_html folder, this is so they cannot be accessed through a browser at all.

Re: How To Do V1 Crons ( Hope This Will Help )

I agree, Rather make a folder outside public_html(www on some servers) and run it trough that.

Re: How To Do V1 Crons ( Hope This Will Help )

Hmm how can you do that if you put

http://gamename.com/cron.php

That is a in the public_html folder. So what would be any deeper?

[Matty]

Re: How To Do V1 Crons ( Hope This Will Help )

The hint is cannot be accessed through browsers. lol

 

/home/cpanel username or whattever/cronjobsfolder/cron.php

[Will]

Re: How To Do V1 Crons ( Hope This Will Help )

I wasn't sure you could put folders. An advantage of putting them in the home directory mean that you can run them manually.

[Matty]

Re: How To Do V1 Crons ( Hope This Will Help )

Of course you can. The scripts are located on the same server, the cron service runs on the same server, well to an extent that you would know.

So why not, I put my crons and my mysql details outside my public html folder so that noone can ever get to them unless they have my cpanel/ftp password. :)

You can still do what you like with them BUT you cannot access them via a browser, you can however include them in a php file which you save in public html and then view it in a browser

 

include "/home/cpanel username or whattever/cronjobsfolder/cron.php";

like so :)
