Hi,

After read your Howto for a cron job. I wanted to schedule mine. But it's impossible due to this limit on OVH Server

The characters for the records are letters, numbers, and characters -_./ Moreover, it is forbidden to access parent folders using .. The length of the command to run is limited to 100 characters :angry:

This is my command
/usr/local/bin/php /home/motodepoou/www/administrator/components/com_csvi/helper/cron.php --key="ubiflow" --template_id="4"

How to do ?
Regards

Support

Hello,

The length of the command to run is limited to 100 characters

Crazy server setup :ohmy:

The only thing I can think of is that you create a shell script, you call the shell script from the cron job and in the shell script you have the PHP command.

The other thing I can think of is that you make a symbolic link to the cron.php file in your home folder, thus the length of the path will be shorter.

Kind regards,
