Cron Doubt

From build 3044 the development baton passed to Mark Crossley. Mark has been responsible for all the Builds since. He has made the code available on GitHub. It is Mark's hope that others will join in this development, but at the very least he welcomes your ideas for future developments (see Cumulus MX Development suggestions).

Puzzled by what you mean as CumulsMX does not have Cron in it and Cron is normally run on the web server.

Can you clarify please?

I understand that Cumulus does not need cron. But from my Cumulus server is there any way to send cron command to my webserver. In my web sever I have configured a cron but one of them doesn't work (I guess because of the variable ?password=*****).
Sorry my english is not good (I'm with translator).

Do you have your cron logging its error output? That will give you a clue about why it isn't working.

I'm not sure what you are trying to do with the cron job. Is that the upload.php that is supplied with Cumulus MX?

It cannot be run that way, it has to be called from Cumulus MX as it uses encrypted content.

That file is not from Cumulus.
I just want to know if there is a way that Cumulusmx can be configured to run a Cron to a server (website).

No there isn't, not directly anyway, you'd have to do it via a web server call.

MX can call a script locally, if you can make that script do what you want...?
