Possible to run auto-add cron task with WHM plugin?

This type of action, to add a cron job or modify a crontab, may be performed by the custom script used to install the custom plug-in. To have a cron entry run just once a day, the entry could be added as a file in the following directory:

Code:

/etc/cron.daily/

 

Well, as plugins have no real unified installation method at this time there isn't a way to do this. However you could always do a touch file to check if it's run for the first time or not.


f.ex (pseudo code):

if ( !-e /var/cpanel/$yourplugin/.notfirsttime ) {
install cron
do some setup stuff
touch /var/cpanel/$yourplugin/.notfirsttime
}
