Crony
=====

[](#crony)

`Crony` is a PHP-based cron job framework. Add the master task to your crontab, and `Crony` will take care of all of the work necessary to ensure that your offline jobs run how you want them, when you want them.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

1. Install [`composer`](http://getcomposer.org).
2. Add `Jobby` to `composer.json`.

    `"pcrumm/crony": "dev-master"`
3. Run `composer install`
4. Add the following to your crontab (see below for an example `jobs.php`:

    `* * * * * cd /path/to/project && php jobs.php 1>> /dev/null 2>&1`

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

### jobs.php

[](#jobsphp)

`jobs.php` loads and runs Crony tasks, and should be referrenced from your crontab. It should include a call to the `Crony::init()` method, which takes a single argument: the namespace that your tasks reside under. This namespace should be [PSR-0 autoloaded by composer](https://getcomposer.org/doc/01-basic-usage.md#autoloading), and by convention should exist in the `src` directory in your project's root. In the example below, all jobs are sub-directories of the `src/PhilCrumm/ExampleTasks` directory and thus exist in the `\PhilCrumm\ExampleTasks` namespace.
