Cron Entries

[Alofoxx]

I recently setup Sypex Dumper mod - http://xenforo.com/community/resources/sypex-dumper-backup-and-restore-your-database.1102/

and I would like to run a daily backup with this, but I am not sure how to add it to cron.

it says to use:

/usr/bin/php /home/site/public_html/sxd/index.php -j=job_name

but in the new cron entry it only has class and method

any help? Thanks

You need to setup the cron on the server itself, not in XenForo. XenForo's cron system isn't a real cron.

Do you have root access to your server? If not then contact your host about setting up a cron.

Which begins the question ... is it possible/better to 'migrate' XF cron entries from XF and into server based real cron?

There is no need.

no. they will not set one up because my account does not include shell access and such.
