Run cron.php without crontab: now it’s possible.

Dear drupal webmaster newbies, this is for you!

Now it’s possible to run cron.php regularily, without any access to the server or without any knowledge about servers and crontab!

Just put these simple PHP lines in a block of your Drupal site, better if mostly present, or create a new block with them:

<?php
$tmstmp=mktime();
$last=file_get_contents("lastcron.txt");
if(($tmstmp-$last)>(60*60*6))
{
$pntr=fopen('lastcron.txt', 'w');
if(fwrite($pntr, $tmstmp))
{
mail ("dest","cron OK","OK");
include ("cron.php");
}
else
{

Cron senza crontab: è possibile.

Cari webmaster drupal in erba, questa è proprio per voi!

Far partire il cron.php regolarmente, senza avere accesso al server o senza saper gestire un server adesso è possibile!

Inserite queste semplici righe in PHP in un blocco qualunque di quelli che compaiono in modo fisso nelle vostre pagine oppure createne uno appositamente:

<?php
$tmstmp=mktime();
$last=file_get_contents("lastcron.txt");
if(($tmstmp-$last)>(60*60*6))
{
$pntr=fopen('lastcron.txt', 'w');
if(fwrite($pntr, $tmstmp))
{
mail ("dest","cron OK","OK");
include ("cron.php");
}
else
{
