pseudo-cron 1.3

With cron jobs, you can exactly plan when a certain command is to be executed. But most homepage owners can't create cron jobs on their web server – providers demand some extra money for that.The only thing that's certain to happen quite regularly on a web page are page requests. This is where pseudo-cron comes into play: With every page request it checks if any cron jobs should have been run since the previous request. If there are, they are run and logged.Pseudo-cron uses a syntax very much like the Unix cron's one. The syntax pseudo-cron uses is different from the one described on that page in the following points: - you may not use abbreviations (Mon, Tue, ...) for day of week - there is no user column - the executed command has to be an include()able file (which may contain further PHP code)All job definitions are made in a text file on the server with a user-definable name (usually crontab.txt). Features:  - runs any PHP script - periodical or time-controlled script execution - logs all executed jobs - can be run from an IMG tag in an HTML page - follows Unix cron syntax for crontabs - sends an email with the results Usage:  - Modify the variables in the config section below to match your server. - Write a PHP script that does the job you want to be run regularly. Be sure that any paths in it are relative to the script that include()s pseudo-cron. - Set up your crontab file with your script - Include pseudo-cron.inc.php in a high traffic page - Wait for the next scheduled run
