Hi,

I'm new, first post.

I've done a fair bit of reading on managing jobs and cron but not sure how to set up sending 9 reports each month. I can successfully mail a report (to ConfigAndLog/mail) using the PHP cli method. Do I just write a script to run it on the day I want and use /etc/cron.d, or is there a better/preferred way?

And I can't mail a report using the Drush method. Anyone have a working example to share?

Thanks

a. you should write a script to wrap the cli call to mail a report for a report instance (you can potentially use instanceID as a parameter to the script)

b. add a cron entry to specify the date/time you want to send the report

its a cli job, so you can use the instructions to invoke a cli command via drush:
