Running a script immediately (but not a cron job)

[estado3]

Is there a cpanel program that enables running a script one time only, but not on a regular basis like cron job?

[estado3]

on the same theme is there a cpanel feature that can execute files from the file system?

I'm not sure that can be done through cpanel itself, although if you were careful of security you could write a PHP script to implement that.

If you want something that can be run from root, try installing Configserver Explorer from www.configserver.com. It appears down the bottom of WHM and allows you to manipulate files and run stuff from anywhere. It does run as root though so can't be given out to users; use the PHP solution for them.

Or just a terminal / shell

You could just do a cron job and set the time as a specific date & time.....Would cause it to only be ran once.
