Dear bloggie (again…)

I’m back in Brisbane! 😀

Anyways, didn’t take any pics…

So i’m waiting to find pics to upload… :S

So yeah…

Dear bloggie…?
(You may have seen me using this before…?)

I was asked by a client to send them a daily email (more like spam? :p) and thought cron job would be easiest?
I was planning on using

0 12 * * */home/username/public_html/filename.php

to run the cron job, but ended up with this error

/usr/local/cpanel/bin/jailshell: /home/username/public_html/filename.php: Permission
denied

I read somewhere that i needed to type my username in, so that became attempt 2…?

0 12 * * * username /home/username/public_html/filename.php

And because this post hasn’t finished yet, you guessed it, another error…

/usr/local/cpanel/bin/jailshell: username: command not found

So, back to the drawing board, how do we get the script to run from jailshell?
Let’s try a different approach? Since the script runs using the mail() function, we just need to call the page?

So, our last attempt…

0 12 * * * /usr/bin/wget http://www.client.tld/filename.php

And to test it?

As for a normal cron job, i’ll still need to look how to work around jailshell… :S

Okays, i’ve been giving away free apps codes for iOS via the Apple store and most people claim the link i sent them requires them to pay for the app? (I guess they missed the redeem code? :S)

Anyways, let’s redeem an app via an iPhone?
(Will do one for iTunes later…)

Launch the App Store!

You could be on the Top Charts, Genius, Search or Updates tab, but let’s tap on the Featured tab?

Welcome to the Feature tab! 😀

Let’s scroll down to Redeem?
