How to set cron job url for codeigniter?

Question

I am using Codeigniter for my website. I have to use cron job to run one of controller function. I am using route in website. And also I am not using index.php in url.

Answer 1

I have done it as

 00 09-18 * * 1-5 /usr/bin/php /var/www/html/app/index.php crontest

crontest is the name of the controller which also uses a model to pull data from the database and send mail periodically (between 9 AM to 6 PM on Monday to Friday every week)

I just viewed this page which explains very detail with example. Hope this will be useful to others as well.
