Vincent DELHAYE	Tuesday 24 October 2006 7:58:44 am Hello, I need to execute some script by cronjobs with option. Example : /usr/local/php/bin/php -C /var/www/atousantevd/runcronjobs.php alerte for_day /usr/local/php/bin/php -C /var/www/atousantevd/runcronjobs.php alerte for_month But I don't see how to get my option 'for_day' in my script 'alerte.php'. Somebody has already done it ? thx
Kristof Coomans	Tuesday 24 October 2006 9:15:54 am Hello Vincent As far as I know you can not specify any custom options for cron scripts. Use a normal CLI script instead, by using the eZCLI and eZScript classes. runcronjobs.php is in fact such a CLI script. There are some other good examples in the bin/php directory. independent eZ Publish developer and service provider \| http://blog.coomanskristof.be \| http://ezpedia.org
Piotr Switkowski	Wednesday 25 October 2006 5:42:24 am Hello I need to do the same thing. I am thinking about the following logic: - create script that have all logic depending on your parameter var - create script that sets the value of your parameter to "for_day" and then includes script with login - create script as in previous point, but setting parameter to 'for_month' Instead of passing the parameter you wpuld simply need to call right script, but all logic will be written only once.

Hello,
I need to execute some script by cronjobs with option.
Example :
/usr/local/php/bin/php -C /var/www/atousantevd/runcronjobs.php alerte for_day
/usr/local/php/bin/php -C /var/www/atousantevd/runcronjobs.php alerte for_month

But I don't see how to get my option 'for_day' in my script 'alerte.php'.

Somebody has already done it ?
