Cron Job

[frank18]

Thanks for your answer.
I try and it came error message.
ERROR: admin/includes/configure.php file not found. Suggest running zc_install/index.php?

Just noticed that you are running ZC 1.5.1 but the header of the file you posted says

ZenCart 1.3.x > 1.3.9c

That add on may not be compatible with your version of ZC

I just need basic script, open-closed shop auto whit cron job. I found store_status.php script from zen cart forum. And i can't update version.

and i four this otter subject of zen cart forum...

Dr Byte's solution works well for me but I thought I'd add a little caveat which might save somebody some time.

If you run your php program directly as a cron job it won't have the right working directory and won't find /includes/config.php so it will fail with;
ERROR: admin/includes/configure.php file not found. Suggest running zc_install/index.php?
To avoid this you need to tell cron to change directory before invoking PHP to run the program, so your cron command should read
Code:
cd "public_html/admin"; /usr/local/bin/php my_program.php
Remember to leave a space between your path to PHP and the program name, you are invoking PHP with the program name as a parameter.

I hope this helps someone.
