Crontab entry: What should jobby.php be? about jobby HOT 2 CLOSED

No problem @letsbyteit. jobby.php should be created by you, following the example in the README. The contents in jobby.php add your actual cron jobs to jobby. Jobby doesn't really "store" them. It just looks thru each one each time, and evaluates whether or not the job should run based on its schedule, whether it's running already, etc. That's jobby's job :-)

Typically, I throw all my PHP cron scripts in a folder, and add them each to jobby in jobby.php. That way, if I add a new one, or change the schedule of one, I can do that in source code (which is version controlled), and not in crontab.

In your case, your jobby.php could query the database for all jobs and schedules, add them to jobby, and allow jobby to decided if they should run or not (as opposed to hard-coding all the jobs).

HTH.
