magento: is there a way to “run profile” with cron?

Question

I have an export profile on magento 1.6 and I can run it manually (\"Run profile in popup\"), but I need it to run automatically every day. Is there a way to set up a cron job t

Answer 1

Here's a cron script from 1.4.x.x that will run a profile. Export Profile Script

In 1.4.x.x and later, given proper resources, the final part where it opens the dataflow_batch_export table and truncates it may be commented out if your system is properly cleaning out the contents on completion of the export. There for a while, we were having problems with dataflow_batch_import and dataflow_batch_export table growth due to failure to clean up after either operation because a memory leak interrupted their proper operations.
