Magento How-to: Cron jobs for Modules
It’s inevitable that you’ll want to create a cron job for your Magento modules at some point. An obvious solution would be to make the user create a new crontab entry calling your script. There’s no need. Magento has cron functionality built in.
Simply edit your config.xml
, adding the following:
When <mode>shipwire/api_inventorysynch::cron</model>
relates to the shipwire
model namespace, api_inventorysynch
relates to the model Meanbee_Shipwire_Model_Api_Invetorysynch
and ::cron
relates to the method cron()
in that class.
Note: You need to make sure, of course, that the script ./cron.php
, in the root of your Magento installation, has an entry in the crontab.
