Cronjob in Plesk

  • Hi,

    First of all, thank you a lot for providing such a complex plugin for free!

    I was planning to create a cronjob in my Parallels Plesk backend. I read your documents regarding the cronjob topic so I wanted to just set up one cronjob by running a PHP-Script. No I have two questions:

    1) What would such a PHP script look like? Is there a sample file somewhere, where I would just need to put my own URL in an the rest would be basically copy paste?

    2) Is it possible to to update each feed individually so my server does not have to do that much work at once?

    An answer would be much appreciated. ??

    *To 1) : if there is a way other than writing a PHP-script, of course I am open to it, too.

    Okay, let me see what I can do to help.

    Re: 2. It is possible to update feeds individually, but I would suggest that you avoid doing this unless you have a really strong reason to do so. FeedWordPress already has a fairly complex scheduling system set up which allows you to stagger updates out over time, so if you use the standard settings in your cron jobs, it will not be attempting to poll all of your feed subscriptions at once every time the cron job runs. Rather, it will be attempting to poll a limited subset of them. You can also use FeedWordPress settings under Syndication > Feeds & Updates to limit the total time spent on an update procedure (which I recommend doing if you have a large number of subscriptions; 60 seconds is usually a good sanity-check maximum). The best way to avoid overloading your server is probably a combination of these two.

    Re: 1. Sure, I can probably help out with this, but just to make sure I understand what you’re trying to do — you have a platform that allows you to set up cron jobs; but to set up a cron job to do what you want, you need to write a script, which you’d like to write in PHP? So you need help on how to send the right request to FeedWordPress from within a PHP script? Is that correct?
