Rainbow Posted May 24, 2009 Posted May 24, 2009 Cron Job Alternative Modification The following modification is simply a replacement for cron jobs. This modification runs using PHP and MySQL. With this mod you can easily set times when a PHP script should run; automating tedious tasks such as trimming a database table, or refilling different bars.You can schedule a task to run hourly, daily or weekly - and the scheduled data is stored in a MySQL database via PHP. I have tested this modification with many different PHP scripts and it will fire any PHP script, that is a gaurantee and I will give you a refund if it doesnt, in theory it should also run most perl scripts too... however this has not been tested to the full extent. Services and Features: - Free support - Free setup - The modification saves run logs to database - The modifcation saves error messages to database - It runs remote scripts in a secure folder - You can schedule PHP scripts to run: 1-59 minutes hourly daily weekly - add scheduled jobs - modify existing scheduled jobs - delete existing scheduled jobs I will be open and honest and admit there are certain limitations. The modification fires the commands from hits - so if your game receives hits every single hour you can set a schedule to run hourly and you can be sure the task will be fired - If you arent a big game then you can help ensure this script runs every hour by placing the following code on the pages on the site; Again refering to the limitations note that any scheduled jobs due to be fired or if the fire time has past will be run when the script cjr.php is run. The method used is to fire any jobs if the fire time is now or has past. For example... If you create an hourly scheduled job and add this at 5pm, but your web site doesn't receive a hit until 8pm then the script will be fired just once at 8pm and the next fire time will be set to 9pm (all on the same day). Again this may not apply to your game... but this modification has been made both to suit MC Codes AND regular websites. There will be different versions of the mod - one to be adapted to work with MC codes ( v1 and v2 ), Other websites. You can also either buy this mod and modify it yourself or you can pay a 10% fee additional cost of the price to recieve frequent updates and fixes. For example the product is nowhere near finished and we know what we will be interested in adding later on; - single one time run jobs can now be added -for competitions/reminders/events - Improvements to modifying current existing jobs If you are interested in this product then contact me. The price right now will be cheap due to the fact I have not released it yet, and in this stage it will go for 70% cost than the projected finished product. We need you to help us test it and we will return the favor. I will only accept offers from whom I feel are trustworthy and only three copies will be sold. If you wish to enquire more about the price then please do private message me about it. If all goes well we may offer the 'lite' version of the product for games on free hosts without cron jobs to help them out for ad space belonging to us. :) -Rainbow Quote

I have done some market research and found there is a gap in the market, and I had some interest from the senior members of this forum and indeed some others off this network. So please...

Sorry to be repeatative. :) I made a 1minute & five minute, MTG took mine and made it into 1 minute, 5 minute's, hourly & daily. And does it offer all the features that I plan or already do offer? If so then I seriously need to reconsider about taking this further for commercial use. :) Services and Features: - Free support - Free setup - The modification saves run logs to database - The modifcation saves error messages to database - It runs remote scripts in a secure folder - You can schedule PHP scripts to run: 1-59 minutes hourly daily weekly - add scheduled jobs - modify existing scheduled jobs - delete existing scheduled jobs I would apprieciate Haunted Dawg if you private message me with the differences within the two modifications in comparison and whether you think this is at all an improvement of your version. Thank you. :) Quote
Haunted Dawg Posted May 24, 2009 Posted May 24, 2009 Re: Cron Job Replacement Actualy, your's is far more improved. All mine does is use timestamp and the five min + minute one is just coded efficiently. Quote
Rainbow Posted May 24, 2009 Author Posted May 24, 2009 Re: Cron Job Replacement Actualy, your's is far more improved. All mine does is use timestamp and the five min + minute one is just coded efficiently. Glad to see that it was not just my bias towards this code then. I was beginning to think and reconsider taking the modification down the commercial route. Now that someone spoke sense - someone who seems to be a reputated member amongst this community then maybe now others will reconsider their position and actually evaluate my modification before making assumptions that it is no further improved than the others released out there. I mean I do have the common sense and realise people will not buy something that can be acquired for free. Anyway thank you Haunted Dawg for the kind and honest words, hopefully the others will become less ignorant. :) Quote
MDK666 Posted May 24, 2009 Posted May 24, 2009 Re: Cron Job Replacement sry rainbow if you took my comment the wrong way, if yours does do alot more, then grats on that i was just stateing above when rioter and hawk had stated that there was a free mod of this, other then that have fun with the sell, i would purchase this but there isnt a price listed nor are there any screen shots for people that might want to purchase this, maybe if u had some screenshots people might consider buying this more thats just a suggestion so dont take it as disresepect Quote
Lithium Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 Re: Cron Job Replacement @ MDK... this doesn't seem a mod that can take any screenshot... what would it be showing? the code itself? ;) Quote

Paddy Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 Re: Cron Job Replacement This seems very interesting, maybe you can explain what benefits we should expect, would a game/website run faster? less strain on the Database how user friendly is it, if a user after a year wants to add new jobs for example? would like to here more about it Thanks Quote
Sethenor Posted June 14, 2009 Posted June 14, 2009 Re: Cron Job Replacement So how much we talking here? Quote
