Cron & api

Hello, I have a question about Zen Cart. I have two questions:

I would like to determine how to programmatically create recurring cron tasks.
How can I download orders from the Zen Cart system, if I have an API, because I have not found anything in the documentation.

System version: Zen Cart 1.5.5f

Regards,
Adam Mac

Re: Cron & api

cron jobs are generally not a part of Zen Cart so much as a job-scheduler that is setup in cpanel or some other hosting control panel. See https://documentation.cpanel.net/display/68Docs/Cron+Jobs

If you Google "download orders from Zen Cart", you'll find several optional add ons for Zen Cart. Those that are designed for versions 1.5.# and later are most likely to work with 1.5.5f.

With open source, you can easily set up a cron to run the file that activates the add on you choose.
