Hello.

Is it possible to pass the prarameters to the runcronjobs.php script as ...mysite.com/runcronjobs.php?parameter1=xx&parameter2=yy

Aparently, my ISP only suports this format for configuring cronjobs (no ssh access).
If posible, how should this one be?:

php runcronjobs.php -s site_admin sendmail

Thanks

Afaik, it is not possible - it would also be considered a big securoty breach if it was - any user could trigger execution of existing cronjobs with teh desired parameters...

Otoh it might be interesting to wrap the runcronjobs script in a properly secured module+view. The problem is timeouts and excessive memory usage...

The ezscriptmonitor extension should be the solution for these kind of needs
