如何连续执行发送邮件的脚本？

Question

I want my part of my Magento code to continuously execute. For example: If I want to send mail for those customers who have not ordered any product from last 3 month. So in this case i have to find mail triggering timings for them.

Consider A customer have not ordered and its 3 months completed on particular day on morning And B customer have not ordered and its 3 months completed on same day(as A customer) in evening

How can I do in such condition?

I expect the output For A customer's mail send on morning And For B customer's mail send on evening

You gonna need Cron Job to send emails periodically

You have to write Crontab in your config.xml

     <crontab>
        <jobs>
          <custom_cron_task>
            <schedule>
              <cron_expr>0 0 0 ? 1/3 * *</cron_expr>
            </schedule>
            <run>
              <model>cron/cron::crontask</model>
            </run>
          </custom_cron_task>
        </jobs>
      </crontab>
  <global>
    <models>
      <cron>
       <class>Your_Model</class>
      </cron>
    </models>
  </global>

element under the element defines the interval on which the job will run regularly. In the above case, the cron job will run in every 3 months.

and create your cron.php in your model

<?php

class Namespace_Mymodule_Model_Cron
{
 public function customtask()
 {
   // send email
   $mail = Mage::getModel('core/email')
    ->setToEmail('user@email.com')
    ->setBody('Body of the Automated Cron Email Goes Here')
    ->setSubject('Subject: Cron Task (every 3 months) '.date("Y-m-d H:i:s"))
    ->setFromEmail('admin@example.com')
    ->setFromName('Your Store Name')
    ->setType('html');
   $mail->send();
 }
}

Hope this will work for you. Thanks
