You can’t SSH into the server?
yes, ssh access is disabled.
What about just having the cron job send you an email with the data in place? That should work.
I was thinking, install the test file and setup a cron to run it. You should at least know if it ran then.
Yep, just move the file to the server and run it from a browser, even. That would do for a test.
I sometimes just do an IP check to make sure it only runs from my computer for security. Just when testing…
Lots of ways to test it…
The issue with that is the time out. The browser running the script isn’t the same as a cron running it. I generally test cron scripts the the browser first [localhost], the the commandline [localhost], then on the server itself.
Oh, yes, timing… Yes, your way with a cron job would be best. Got lost a little…
yes, it must be timeing out. but strange why it is about 85 seconds, this number is totally diffenent from all the time parameters.
I ran cron job, no email notification. one reason is I don’t config my phpmail. but even no cpanel cron system email notification.
now, I am programming file exchange to do my work.
