| CRON JOB BOOTSTRAPPER
|--------------------------------------------------------------
|
| By Jonathon Hill (http://jonathonhill.net)
| CodeIgniter forum member "compwright" (http://codeigniter.com/forums/member/60942/)
|
| Created 08/19/2008
| Version 1.2 (last updated 12/25/2008)
|
| Updated on 3/17/2011 By David McReynolds of Daylight Studio to fix CI 2.x issues
|
| PURPOSE
| -------------------------------------------------------------
| This script is designed to enable CodeIgniter controllers and functions to be easily called from the command line on UNIX/Linux systems.
|
|
| SETUP
| -------------------------------------------------------------
| 1) Place this file somewhere outside your web server's document root
| 2) Set the CRON_CI_INDEX constant to the location of your CodeIgniter index.php file
| 3) Make this file executable (chmod a+x cron.php)
| 4) You can then use this file to call any controller function:
|    ./cron.php controller/method
|
|
| NOTE: Do not load any authentication or session libraries in controllers you want to run via cron. If you do, they probably won't run right.
