Values to cron job

I know, I can't pass parameters to cron jobs. But I need to pass some values to it.

I made one php file, in which I read one text file which contains values.

Then I pass this values to variable & then I run cronjob to run this php file.

Php file is running fine.

But in that, only null values are passed.

Can't I pass any value by any method while running cronjobs?

Thanks.

Hi Kaushal,

Good to hear you found a solution. Closing the barn door after the horses have escaped, here are a few interesting resources on the topic :

  • eZPedia page on cronjobs in eZ, also presenting an alternative : eZ CLI scrips. http://ezpedia.org/en/ez/cronjob
  • Exponential cronjobs documentation : http://doc.ez.no/eZ-Publish/Technical-manual/4.x/Features/Cronjobs

Cheers,

Hey !

Two things:

  • Could you please share your solution ? It is very likely that it will help somebody else sometime.
  • Could you mark the topic as solved (green thing next to the initial forum post's title)

Thanks, and welcome aboard.
