Creating a cron Task Scheduler

I'm currently trying to create a good scheduler system as an interface for setting up and editing cron jobs on my system. My system is built using Zend framework 1.11.11 on a Linux server.

I have two main problems that I want to suggest:

Problem 1: Configuring the application itself

I have 2 ways to run a cron job:

• The first way is to create a folder scriptsand create a shared boot file in it, where I will upload only the resources that I need. Then for each task I will create a separate script and in each script I will include a bootstrap file. Finally, I will add the cron task to the crontab file for each of these scenarios, and the task will look like ***** php /path/to/scripts/folder/cronScript_1.php.

• Secondly, consider cron work as a normal request (without a special bootstrap). Add the cron task to the crontab file for each of these scripts, and the task will look like ***** curl http://www.mydomain.com/module/controller/action.

Problem 2: Application Interface

Adding a cron job can also be done in two ways:

• For each task there will be an entry in the crontab file. when I want to add a new task, I have to do it through cPanel or any other crontab editing tools (which may not be available).

• ( ). cron crontab, . , , ( ).
