execute php file in linux

baby_g

I wrote up a run.cmd file:

php update.php 1>> out1.txt 2>> out2.txt
at -f run.cmd now + 15 minute

I uploaded the run.cmd to the same directory as update.php but how do u execute the run.cmd in linux CLI at every :00, :15, :30, :45 minute interval perfectly??

For windows OS, you just double click.. but for linux??

thanks

as far as I know, the "AT" command is windows specific. What your looking for is a cron job. Most hosting companies will let you use these. Google would prolly be a good place to start 🙂

so what is the command that I need to do if I want to execute the update.php every 15min and save the log in the out1.txt file?

You need to set up a cron job

Some hosting companies actually let you schedule cron jobs through their control panel. If you can't you'll prolly need ssh/telnet access to edit your crontab manually.

No, Windows got it from Unix; hence, Linux has at as well. But you're right about the cron job.

Interesting, and good to know.
