Try the poormanscron module. It runs cron jobs at the end of a page request if they need to be, all from the PHP/Apache process. Probably not as efficient as real cron, but works well for me. On Sunday 31 July 2005 07:09 pm, Rob wrote:
I never have been able to get Crontab to work to update news feeds in Drupal. I tried dozens of commands, changed permissions, etc. and my hosting company did a reinstall to be sure there was not a bug. I tried using WebCron.Org which works on one site but does not seem to work well on another.
Does anyone know of any alternative way to do this such as using some type of spidering script?
