\#Yii PHPDocCrontab extension Simple and convenient installing console commands as cron jobs.

- One control point to run all commands
- Crossplatform job installing
- Store schedule of launches with application source
- Grouping jobs (example: segmentation by server)

\##Requirements Yii Framework 1.1.6 or above

\##Usage Installing action 'Example1' of command 'Test' to run every 10 minutes. Just add doc-comment for console action.

```
class TestCommand extends CConsoleCommand{
    /**
     * @cron 10 * * * *
     */
    public function actionExample1(){}
}
```

\##Installation

- **Step 1:** Put directory PHPDocCrontab (or only PHPDocCrontab.php) into your framework extensions directory.
- **Step 2:** Add PHPDocCrontab.php as new console command on framework config:

```
'commandMap' => array(
    'cron' => 'ext.PHPDocCrontab.PHPDocCrontab'
)
```
