### Install

[](#install)

Include in your `composer.json`:

```
"require": {
  "battis/autocrontabjob": "~1.0"
}
```

### Use

[](#use)

This object requires a bit of prior preparation before use:

1. Extend the abstract `Battis\AutoCrontabJob` class and implement the abstract `scheduledJob()` method.
2. Create a script that will be run regularly as a Cron job, that instantiates your class and calls its `scheduledJob()` method.

*Gotcha warning:* Remember that, when a script is run by cron, it is *not* run by Apache, so it will not generate output to the Apache log files. Handily, there is a log built-in that you can use (see below). By default, the log will be generated in the same directory as the script and be similarly named (`.log` instead of `.php`).

A sample script file (which is an all-in-one, also extending the abstract class), called `MyJob.php`:

```
