Be patient, if you make comments like that no-one would help you. I personally don't know they work, I just went on standard, its much easier.

For the minute, run it every minute, every day, every week, every month, every year. Then for the 5 minutes, every 5 mins, every day, every week, every money, every year and so on.

Re: cron job help?

this would be your command to run

curl http://criminals-nightmare.co.cc/cron_f ... **********

Re: cron job help?

and make sure you put the right command with the right cron, and it will only work if your crons are working properly with no errors

Re: cron job help?

what so my cron files

cron_minute.php

cron_fivemins.php

cron_hour.php

cron_day.php

cant have errors at all on all of them, also what coding i have to put in the command to run, is there a space between the curl and http? or is it together?

Re: cron job help?

got it THANK YOU VERY MUCH feky, completely forgot to even check if there was errors on my cron files!. my energy just refilled upto 33% so that means they work now.

Re: cron job help?

but then again, ive got feeling that there not gonna go up any higher...

Re: cron job help?

yep, figured it would stop, what should i do if the crons stop? should i email a admin?

[Nickson]

Re: cron job help?

Depends, if they stop working at all, move to a host that allows you to make use of more server resources or that just doesn't block crons.

But first, check whether you have set the run times correctly or not.

Re: cron job help?

ive emailed a admin, and i dont wanna move to i different host because well this host is free, and if i remember correctly, most free hosting sites dont let u use cronjob at all unless you upgrade... for like $3-5 a month lol.

and what do u mean check if the run times are correct? do u mean this?

*/5 * * * * <--- 5 min

* * * * * <--- 1 min

0 * * * * <--- 1 hour

0 0 * * * <-- 1 day

Re: cron job help?
