Hi, I am using jCron to set up cronjobs.
July 13, 2009, 01:49:26 pm
Good afternoon.
I set up the site key in my civicrm.settings.php. Now, in JCron I am setting up a command
http://artoutlet.org/administrator/components/com_civicrm/civicrm/bin/civimail.cronjob.php, as well as setting the UNIX Crontab.

I understand from reading the Wiki post that I also have to hard code the admin name and password, in addition to specifying the site key. Right now i get the "ERROR: You need to send a valid user name and password to execute this file."

Where and how would I do that? And if I add that to the cronjob.php file, is it safe against hackers?

Greetings, Henrik

Henrik,

I've never used jCron so I'll just assume that it's analogous to UNIX crontab.

All the information you need is at http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC/CiviMail+Installation or on the links therein. I found this page by clicking on "Documentation" from this forum and then searching the wiki for "civimail" and "job".

Now ...
... How are you invoking the URL? (wget? curl?)
... Are you adding the username, password, and key as parameters to the URL?
... Are you escaping any special characters in these strings to protect them from the shell?
