Did you create a shell task?
I used to use a method similar to the one described in the bakery
article you link to. But a while back I switched to using a shell task
(less hacking more cake-friendly support).
A very simple shell might just look like this:
class HourlyShell extends Shell {
function main() {
$this->out("\n".'Hourly shell updates:');
$this->log('Hourly shell updates @ '.date('Y-m-d H:i:s'),
'cron');
// this is one of the few places I use requestAction.
$this->requestAction('/controller/action', array
('return'=>true));
}
}
In defence of requestAction :)
In my cron task I use requestAction for simplicity since performance
problems do not matter to the cron much... and I am calling plugins
and therefore want to have a unified way of calling each one. So I
call a method on "PluginnameController" for each plugin.
and the task should be called using the full paths (to avoid any
guesswork on the part of the shell):
/home/user/cake/cake/console/cake -app /home/user/cake/app hourly >>/
dev/null 2>&1
(That last bit of garbage code is needed so the cron runs ok on my
system. It halts if I pepper it with output)
