How to create a cron job in egroupware

vishakha 2020-04-17 16:50:27 UTC #1

I’m working on a php script that pushes data into egoupware db.
I would like to have a cron job that runs that script everyday.
My script is currently inside my application/inc folder.
Is there a way I can configure a cron in egroupware to execute that script

Version
versions’ =>
array (size=5)
‘current_header’ => string ‘1.29’ (length=4)
‘maintenance_release’ => string ‘17.1.20180720’ (length=13)
‘api’ => string ‘17.1.003’ (length=8)
‘phpgwapi’ => string ‘17.1.003’ (length=8)
‘header’ => string ‘1.29’ (length=4

Maria db is ued
lighttpd server is used
PHP version is 7.2
installation type : archive instalation

This is an example how it is done:

github.com

EGroupware/egroupware/blob/master/api/src/Sharing.php#L651


					break;
				}
				catch(Db\Exception $e) {
					if ($i++ > 3) throw $e;
					unset($e);
				}
			}
		}


		// if not already installed, install periodic cleanup of shares
		$async = new Asyncservice();
		$method = 'EGroupware\\Api\\Sharing::tmp_cleanup';
		if (!($job = $async->read(self::ASYNC_JOB_ID)) || $job[self::ASYNC_JOB_ID]['method'] !== $method)
		{
			if ($job) $async->delete(self::ASYNC_JOB_ID);	// update not working old class-name


			$async->set_timer(array('day' => 28), self::ASYNC_JOB_ID, $method ,null);
		}


		return $share;
	}
