sending mass email cron job
June 03, 2010, 10:11:31 am
I am following the instruction in the book: http://en.flossmanuals.net/CiviCRM/SystemConfiguration for Configuring mass email.
My site has a file: /www/sites/all/modules/civicrm/bin/civimail.cronjob.php with php functions.  The book suggest shell commands in this file.  It is not clear to me if these is an alternative method (preferred) of running the cron job.  Question is should we run the php file as is?

Hi,

This is working on 3.2, in 3.1 you might have to install the cli.php in the tools (what you get automatically if you install from svn).

nice -19 php5 .../www/sites/all/modules/civicrm/bin/civimail.cronjob.php should work, doesn't it ?

There is an alternative method, to wget the file and access it from the web (the wget part), it isn't preferred (by me at least ;).
