Bidding Time:

Budget:

Closed


Job Type:
PHP
Description:



Banner

Two similar projects, both simple help wanted ads, were just done by a
programmer who did not finish the job.
I required that these projects each automatically delete expired clients and
send the client and me an email reminder that there ad had expired.
The crontabs call a file called cleanup.php.
The programmer was unable to make them work or fix them. I need someone who can
do that without a load of whining and crying to me. I am not a programmer and do
not know anything about crontabs
Here is what myISP said
your cleanup.php is a web based php script which needs a html browser to
activate it. on our server you can use lynx browser to read it. so your crontab
should be some time like this: 0 0 * * * /usr/local/bin/lynx -dump
/home/paralegala/html/jobspla/dbclean/cleanup.php where did you go trying to
update passwod ,managing my sites or managing domain names ?

CORRECTION: Here is the relevant comment from my ISP
your cleanup.php is a web based php script which needs a html browser to
activate it. on our server you can use lynx browser to read it. so your crontab
should be some time like this: 0 0 * * * /usr/local/bin/lynx -dump
/home/paralegala/html/jobspla/dbclean/cleanup.php
I expect you to make this work on both sites, and to install it and make sure it
is working as I require it.

Please note that I cannot add a file to the job description
ANyone who tries to circumvent Script Lance will be rejected and reported to
them.

Here is what my ISP says about accessing the crontabs
Does this make sense to you?
What you can do is log into canlaw or paralegaladvice.com's shel l (using putty,
search putty on google to download this ssh client), then log into canlaw.com
and type crontab -e to edit cron job. On server the cron job is stanadard cron,
just follow instruction of cron job to edit it.
HERE IS SUGGESTED EMAIL COPY FOR each site.
Use these for the client expiry notices
Just copy me with the same info so I know who expired
