Thread: command line or cron job ?

recently my web server acting weird, it keep on reset my cronjob script before script completed the task, my web hosting suggest me to use command line to start script then using cron job (webserver).

So my question is, would that make huge different ??
thanks

I'm afraid that I do not understand the question. Perhaps try rephrasing it?

On my own server, PHP scripts that are run from the web use one PHP configuration file and those that are run from the command line use a different PHP configuration file. /etc/php5/apache/php.ini vs. /etc/php5/cli/php.ini. Perhaps your host has configured different timeout values for different ways to interface with PHP?

I don't have strong knowledge in server/OS but i would like to know, doing like what they said will solve my current issue ...

Hi Sonny,

I suggest you to run the SCRIPT as command line rather than calling it from the WebServer.
Try this

Thanks

I would give it a try if your script can be run from the command line.
