How do I set up a cron job or scheduled task?
Posted by Nick Poindexter on 04 March 2010 04:16 PM
You can try the following methods on most linux / unix / freebsd servers to activate an autourl as part of a cron job.

* wget -O --q http://yoursite.com/customer/autofeed.php?key_goes_here
* lynx --dump http://yoursite.com/customer/autofeed.php?key_goes_here 2>&1 > /dev/null
* GET http://yoursite.com/customer/autofeed.php?key_goes_here > /dev/null

Do not use "php autofeed.php?key_goes_here". This method will not work because of a difference in the way php passes input to the program. This must be fetched over http or https.

If you do not know how to set up a cron job or scheduled task, please ask your host for more information.
