Same for any computer language

while (true) {}, syntax may vary

From what you said though you are better off using cron as that is what it is there for...

Thanks das, I have written the script/s which displays server shutdown notices and then shuts down the server.

I shall try cron for getting it to run at a certain time.

Thanks :)

I am still having issues with this, I guess I am still to much of nob with php, more trial and error to come. Thanks guys.

not understood explains again

Ok here is the deal ( I am about ready to pull out all my hair and teeth lol which would make me a very ugly woman )

This is my crontab:

Code:

---

# /etc/crontab: system-wide crontab
# Unlike any other crontab you don't have to run the `crontab'
# command to install the new version when you edit this file
# and files in /etc/cron.d. These files also have username fields,
# that none of the other crontabs do.

SHELL=/bin/sh

And I am running my test server on Debian 6.0, with ronny1982's server setup with MySQL.

I can't get the auto announcements to run at all. I'm dieing here any suggestions, Please. Thanks guys.:blink::*:

*points back to my method with PHP yet again*

das7002 can you explain were the code goes cause I have no idea were to place it or how to use it, ( nob still ) step by step if possible so I can learn some more. Thanks.

Anywhere you want, it doesn't matter. Lets say you put it into /autoannounce/announce.php

Then in your cron you'd simply use

Code:

---

php /autoannounce/announce.php "Message to broadcast"

---

No more silly shell scripts and JSP stuff

Problem looks to be in your .SH

you do NOT want to use actual domain name or IP -- instead ALWAYS use 127.0.0.1 : http://forum.ragezone.com/f452/auto-...ml#post6421603

You can think it's silly all you want, but at least JSP is something people are going to already have AND be using anyway (pwAdmin). No real reason to install PHP-CLI just for "announcements"...

Spoiler:

+plus+ have fun when people start complaining about it not working since they don't have PHP-CLI installed, and people asking you to help with the installation of it =\

Again no luck, but I did find an article about problems running crons if they are writing to a file in my home folder cause its encrypted, so it wouldn't work unless I was logged in to my test sever pc, this might be an issue for this as well. I'm still getting this error from my system log.

Code:

---

(CRON) error (grandchild #2769 failed with exit status 127)

---

I'll find it soon more trial and error.

You NEED to be more concerned with NETWORK security (opposed to LOCAL security) [you're not dealing with an ATM here...]

Well they probably already have php5-cgi or apache2-mod-php5 so adding php5-cli isn't that much to ask...

I found that somewhat funny too... if someone has access to the machine it doesn't matter how much security you have they can get in...

New error code after changing the .sh's

Code:

---

(CRON) error (grandchild #3651 failed with exit status 126)

---

I found this

Code:

---

126 | Command invoked cannot execute | Permission problem or command is not an executable

---

here [ubuntu] CRON issue on 10.10 - error (grandchild... vs syslog - Ubuntu Forums after searching for the error code. I am going to try the webmin now lol. Be back shortly with results.

Shell scripts need to be executable in order to run... chmod +x shellscriptname.sh

Now I'm getting this error (CRON) error (grandchild #3651 failed with exit status 1), arg....Ok I'll try again shortly need a break, lol.

I always disliked how PHP did line numbers for errors (sometimes you get the actual line other times you get the line after it and that causes all kinds of hell with debugging)

Turns out I forgot that PHP (sometimes) dislikes IP addresses just sitting in plain text (as I just did a quick CLI conversion based on what I had already used in PW-Chat)
