So i've posted once before here needing help setting up a cron job and I didn't get much in terms of answers to the questions I had asked. I've tried contacting godaddy about setting up a cron job for sendy and I was told that I need to create a php file containing my command. I know absolutely nothing about script writing. I am now teaching myself the basics of HTML and CSS, so I am a bit away from learning proper script writing. I was hoping if there is somebody here who could walk me through the process of creating the file I need? Or even point me to a website that would help me learn?
I am not having much luck when it comes to searching for tutorial on writing a script for a cronjob. Any help is appreciated!
If needed the Cron job is: */5 * * * * php /var/chroot/home/content/05/10904605/html/sendy/scheduled.php > /dev/null 2>&1
Also I feel that this problem is related to myself not setting up a cron job, but I am unsure. I have been using sendy without a cron job and I noticed when sending out a campaign that sending will freeze at some random point. In order to finish sending out my campaign I have to select resume. But I've noticed that when I do such a thing it emails the mailing list more than once. For example I sent out a campaign last week to all subscribers (1300 emails) but was forced to resume. As a result sendy reports sending 2600 emails. The most recent campaign I had sent, I had received 2 emails of my campaign ( I am on the mailing list for testing purposes) after I had forced it to resume. Is this how the resume function works in sendy? By resending the whole campaign over? If not, how do I fix this? I dont want my subscribers to become annoyed with repeated emails and unsubscribe. Thanks ahead of time for any help.
