如何在不使用wget的情况下在codeigniter中运行cron作业？

Question

I want to run a cron job without using wget in CodeIgniter. I am using it like this:

*/1 * * * * wget  http://assurance.com/controller/function

It works successfully, but I do not want to use wget.

Is there any another way to run this CodeIgniter script?

Answer 1

You can try and use something like this:

* * * * * /usr/bin/php  /pathToTheApp/controller/function

But of course the /usr/bin/php should be your path to the PHP binaries and pathToTheApp should be the absolute path to your CI application.

如果您在主机上具有本地Shell访问权限，则将其添加到您的crontab中。

Answer 3

I needed to do this exact thing recently and couldn't find a complete solution. So I'll try to provide one here.

I used "bash shell" because I wanted to make a command line (CLI) call to my controller into of an http (note: I'm using an ubuntu/linux server.

There are three main parts:

The cron call

The shell script

The controller function

---

Cron:

in your server cli type this to access crontab: crontab -e

then add your cron call: * * * * * bash /path/to/script/test.sh

(note: I created a folder in my site root called cron, so my path would be:

/var/www/website/cron/test.sh

---

Shell script:

In that cron folder we made, create a file called " test.sh "

In the file put:

#!/bin/bash
cd /path/to/site
/usr/bin/php index.php controller function

That's it

cron sets up the timer to call the file shell calls the controller from the CLI

you'll now be able to use $this->input->is_cli_request() in your function for added security.

public function cronTest()
{
    if($this->input->is_cli_request())
    {
        //code goes here;
    }        
}

Hope this helps save you some time, this took me way longer than expected :)
