RE: setup cPanel crons using CURL()

[zaggs]

Hi Guys,
I have created a script that automatically creates cron jobs via cPanel. It creates the first cron job fine, but then the second cron job will not be added.

I am using PHP's CURL() function to create the crons. My script posts the following values to the "/cron/editcron.html" page:


0-minute
0-hour
0-day
0-month
0-weekday
0-command
entcount

However, it only adds the first cron. How can I add additional crons? Do I have to post other values to the page? I have tried changing the value of "entcount" but it does not seem to have any effect.

Thanks in advance..

You could extend your remote access functionality to perform this task.

You'd just need to be able to script something server-side to correctly modify the contents of /var/spool/cron/relevantuser.

Thanks for your reply, however, I really need to be able to create crons using CURL().

Not sure why my script is only adding the first cron. Maybe I forgot to post some other variable to the script??

Any ideas..
