-BRAIDZ- Posted July 13, 2011 Author Share Posted July 13, 2011 you need to add you game id after. EG. curl http://blabla.x10.mx/cron_day.php?code=243254356475678589 your game id or whatever its called can be found in config.php add it like this? 'code' => '4d3eb406484f4ca520c42a120974ab8b' thats the way it is in config.php or just enter code= 4d3eb406484f4ca520c42a120974ab8b Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dominion Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Check the cron files within raven script have not been edited, and still work like the mccodes original (so checking the config code...). You may also want to check the file names, and path to the files. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

realmoflegends Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 If they worked previously, and you can run them manually, it sounds like a hosting issue, possibly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oxidati0n Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Check the cron files within raven script have not been edited, and still work like the mccodes original (so checking the config code...). You may also want to check the file names, and path to the files. A bit irrelevant, but I might aswell share for developers. There's a way to avoid using cronjobs simply by using timestamps. You can generate a timestamp for how long a user will be in jail (time()+60*60 = 1 hour ahead in the future), for example and then check whether time() has exceeded the timestamp and if so, they aren't in jail anymore. That principle is not only resource friendly, but it saves the headache of cronjob's not working. In some things, you might need a cron job but reducing the dependency on them will make things a lot easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
