A simple cronjobs framework for php code

install

copy /cronjobs to /PATH_TO_YOUR_WWWROOT/

$ crontab -e

Add a line

* * * * * /usr/bin/php /PATH_TO_YOUR_WWWROOT/cronjobs/init.php >> /PATH_TO_YOUR_LOG/cronjob.log 2>&1

usage

• Write a new class extends CronJob(or WeeklyCronJob, MonthlyCronJob...) in /cronjobs
• Add your class name in CronJob::$workers
• Override work() function, write your cron scripts
• (optional) Override $runTime (see "format of $runTime" below)
• (optional) If you also want to run your work() function when sending HTTP requests to run /cronjobs/init.php for debugging, override $runOnWebForDebug = true

format of $runTime

const DATE_FORMAT = 'Y-m-d-H-i-N';
$now = date(CronJob::DATE_FORMAT, time());

And * is supported.
The method work() will be called when $now matches the pattern $runTime defined in the class.

Examples

Run at 04:00 every day (daily): public $runTime = '*-*-*-04-00-*';

Run at 01:00 on every Monday (weekly): public $runTime = '*-*-*-01-00-1';

Run every minute: public $runTime = '*-*-*-*-*-*';

Run at 02:00 on 1st day of every month (monthly): public $runTime = '*-*-01-02-00-*'

Never run as cronjob: public $runTime = '9999-99-99-99-99-99';
