Hey Ken,
I'm a bit unclear on your issue, so if you could clarify, it would be
helpful.
You have a cronJob on the /admin/cron/crontest1 URL that creates a js and
displays it. When you hit the url yourself, it goes through... but when the
job autoruns, it fails... right?
If this is the behavior you're experiencing, I'd say it's to be expected...
how would a scheduled cron job running on the backend display anything?
Let me know if I'm the one not understanding your issue properly here.
Cheers!
