How can I use cron job in cakephp to call an action of a controller on Ubuntu, I am trying to do it through crontab but it is not working?
The 'Cake Way' of using a CakePHP application in cron jobs would be creating shell and then calling it as a cron job.
i.e. Create a shell to do the task, and then add it to crontab (crontab -e
on linux machine):
0 * * * * cd /path/to/app/ && Console/cake your_shell_name params
Creating shells and using them with cron is covered in the documentation.
