 | View Full Version : My host can't set up cron jobs, what can I do? Magic2K2 03-18-2002, 03:37 PM I've been unable to get a cron job set up with my web host (well I need 7 AM, they only do 4 AM). The host suggested I find a service that will request that URL at whatever time each morning. Anybody know of any such sites that will do that?

Hotscripts in particular has a few that I've seen in the past. It escapes me where I saw them but if you use their search function and look for 'cron job' or something similar you should get a few results. Err, any reason your host is against allowing you to set one up? Greg Moore |
