Hi there everyone. So my host doesn't allow crons more then every 15 minutes I need to do every 10 minutes.

So i was thinking of using sleep. Would this count as a single cron?:

php -qf /home/blah.php; sleep 600; php -qf /home/blah.php;

php -qf /home/blah.php; sleep 600; php -qf /home/blah.php;

Its hostgator does anyone have any experience with them and this issue?

That's a good idea ill also try do that but they take forever to respond. So if anyone knows please still post

Do they allow you to have 2 chron jobs? You could run the same process twice or make a copy with a new name and run one at 0, 20, 40 minutes ant the other at 10, 30, 50 minutes.

They're only letting one run every 15 minutes Its host gator

A cron can only run once every 15 minutes. So you can have multiple crons, each individual one can not run more often then once every 15minutes. I would also suggest staggering the times that they run.

*/15 * * * *
*/15+2 * * * *
*/15+4 * * * *

At least I think that works >_<

Hey that's a good idea. Thanks man ill try that. I used to do ******* but got contacted by host saying dont do every minute. I just want to do something that they dont care about. What do you think of my one cron just put in sleep 60 between each php call?
