hi , Scheduling can be done using cron job ...


create a file like task_schedular.php
list all the processes to be executed in this file

add this file to the cron job

First create the email sending script and put somewhere ex : /var/www/html/send_email.php

* * * * * command_to_be_executed
| | | | |
| | | | |_ day of the week (0-6)
| | | |__ month(1-12)
| | |____ day of the month(1-31)
| |______ hour(0-23)
|________ minute(0-59)

To add the cron job just go to terminal and use following command :

Code: Select all

#crontab -e
After that add the following line if you wish to send email at 11pm every night :

Code: Select all

0 23 * * * /usr/bin/php -q /var/www/html/send_email.php
Hope this might help in some extent.
