crontab - Cron tab on linux -
i have .exe setup run every 5 minutes.it creates file.
i have stored users email in mysql database. file created named after primary key of database.for example:
1.txt,2.txt,50.txt etc
where 1,2,and 50 primary keys.
i wondering if there way after cron ran email users.i use php on server.is there way this?
edit: think can rather set .php file run on cron , use exec().
in crontab, can have cron entries , can have environment variables. there variable called mailto
specifies user receive email containing stdout or stderr processed jobs. send email vivek@nixcraft.in, enter:
mailto=vivek@nixcraft.in
if mailto defined empty (mailto=""), no mail sent.
mailto=""
the default (if mailto
not set) email local user owns crontab being executed.
i haven't tried it, may able set email 1 of cronjobs using this:
0 0 * * * /root/daily_task.sh #will email crontab owner mailto=joe@gmail.com 0 1 * * * /root/other_daily_task.sh # email joe@gmail mailto=root 0 * * * * /root/hourly_task.sh #(hopefully) mails root , not joe
anything after #
on line of course comment.
