Coly010 Posted December 3, 2011 Posted December 3, 2011 My server keeps deleting my cron jobs. I don't know why. it happens everytime it runs the five minute one. I'm on a free host but it shouldnt matter any ideas? Quote
Coly010 Posted December 3, 2011 Author Posted December 3, 2011 Here's a screenshot of my cron job page on cpanel Uploaded with ImageShack.us Quote
Dominion Posted December 4, 2011 Posted December 4, 2011 The free host would not happen to be 000webhost would it? I believe they delete crons under a set time (an hour I think?). Quote
danger boy Posted December 4, 2011 Posted December 4, 2011 Get in touch with your host asking them if they allow one minute and five minute crons as many don't. Quote
Spudinski Posted December 4, 2011 Posted December 4, 2011 It's - mostly - common policy, because they are intensive. Optimize your scripts to run every hour, or eliminate them all. Quote
Coly010 Posted December 4, 2011 Author Posted December 4, 2011 Er... the host is heliohost and i just found out that it only allows two once a day. have you any alternatives to cron jobs? ajax and javascript work inpage meaning the person would need to be logged in. if you know an alternative please tell me. thanks just a note it's mccodes lite crons i'm trying to run. thanks coly010 Quote
rulerofzu Posted December 4, 2011 Posted December 4, 2011 Good god. Use the forum search and look for timestamps which is an alternative to crons. Or pay for webhosting. Quote
Coly010 Posted December 4, 2011 Author Posted December 4, 2011 :L sorry, senior moment (i'm only 14 :P :L!!!) Quote
Paul Evans Posted December 6, 2011 Posted December 6, 2011 lol Ruler 'good god' wow hope i wasn't like that. Coly if you use the search function as Ruler did say you can find some handy free scripts which use timestamp or you could easily go on another host which allows crons (most don't allow minute crons but there is a timestamp method on here somewhere). Have a nice day :) Quote
Coly010 Posted December 6, 2011 Author Posted December 6, 2011 i've came up with a solution to the problem with regaining health brave etc. I simply added an add-on to the food item :P its not the best idea but as i cant find a better free webhost which offers mysql 5 so that I can perform timestamps i might as well just stay at my own host. The host i'm on also doesnt provide mysql 5 but i think it may allow the day cron. Thanks anyway for the suggestions. :) Quote
