Hi all,
I am using CakePHP to develop a bidding site. I have created a controller called 'daemons' and it performs 4 different tasks which I need to run continuously on the server every minute. I have set this up as 4 cron jobs but something is not working right and my crons just fail to work!
Could be a problem with the controller, just not able to place it. My controller code is pasted below:
Anyone notice any bugs in this..?
Thanks!
