XF 2.0 Run Xenforo Crons via an actual Cronjob

[akia]

Is it possible to run the crons on xenforo via an actual cronjob. I know you could with xenforo with instructions from @digitalpoint

Our xenforo site is used as a development site between 3 people and isn't available to the public, so has very low traffic.

The problem is we rely on the RSS Feed importer to run at regular times to import content from various sources and send email notifications if various forums are watched. This only happens when someone visits the site, which could be days, and its important the content is imported at the time its actually posted. so need to be able to run a regular cron to do this even if no one visits the site.

Havne't looked to be sure, but should be nearly identical just job.php instead of deferred.php

Wouldn't it be possible to just wget your site?

Nope, it's executed with javascript, I believe. There is also apparently an add-on which adds a CLI command you can run to do it via cron rather than using curl: https://xenforo.com/community/resources/cli-job-runner.6478/
