Overview ¶

Simple and convenient installing console commands as cron jobs.

• One control point to run all commands
• Crossplatform job installing
• Store schedule of launches with application source
• Grouping jobs (example: segmentation by server)

Usage ¶

Installing action 'Example1' of command 'Test' to run every 10 minutes. Just add doc-comment for console action.

class TestCommand extends CConsoleCommand{
    /**
     * @cron 10 * * * *
     */
    public function actionExample1(){}
}

Installation ¶

• Step 1: Put directory PHPDocCrontab (or only PHPDocCrontab.php) into your framework extensions directory.
• Step 2: Add PHPDocCrontab.php as new console command on framework config:

'commandMap' => array(
    'cron' => 'ext.PHPDocCrontab.PHPDocCrontab'
)

• Step 3: Add task to system scheduler (cron on unix, task scheduler on windows) to run every minute:

  * * * * * /path/to/yii/application/protected/yiic cron
  

Requirements ¶

Yii Framework 1.1.6 or above
