Execute every day?

[Anon]

Hello,

how is it possible to send a daily newsletter every day at a given time automatically?

The way it is now, I have to hit execute the script manually.

Thank you for your help.

In *nix, you can use cron to kick off your script. It's easy to use. Any reference book/site will tell you how to use it.

In Windows, I've used the event scheduler to kick it off via a .bat script. The .bat script contains only one line, the absolute path to PHP.exe, followed by a space, and then the absolute path to the php script. There may be an better way, bit this is pretty easy.

So (in *nix)... I could write a sql statement place it in a text file and have cron fire it off?

simple as that?

something like that. I've been out of the *nix environment for a while, but I'm not sure if you can call a SQL script directly from cron. You may have to write a shell script to kick it off.
