Hi,

I've just installed a csv import extension which works quite well, through an interface or the following command line:

./extension/csv/import.php [pattern] [filename].

Now i want to add import.php as a cronjob task.

i added the following lines to cronjob.ini :

[CronjobSettings]
ExtensionDirectories[]=csv

[CronjobPart-importagences]
Scripts[]=import.php

Obviously it doesn't work, as i don't know how to precise the two arguments ( [pattern] and [filename]) to the cronjob.

i thought changing the import.php file to put directly into it the value of the arguments but i hope there is a better way to proceed...Have you got any idea ?

I have a little dirty workaround for that. But it is the most simple one.

Instead of making eZ do that, let Linux do that !

write it directly into a crontab

i.e. 

35 6 * * * cd /path to ez && /path to php/php extension/csv/import.php [pattern] [filename].
