My hosting does not having the option to run a cron job run more than once in 24hr in the cron settings. How would i create a custom cron script without using shell? Is that possible? I don’t know much about this, tried googling it and are somewhat confused.
if your host allows it, you may be able to write a script that uses sleep and basically ticks down the time until it's launched again by cron.. but your host would have to allow long running scripts..
The number of jobs per day x 24 = total number of cron jobs?
I think the only way to set a cron job is crontab -e. But you can also you webmin, cpanel or other gui apps to set cron jobs. But as far as I know they still have to be in the cron file.
