Rob Rob	Monday 20 June 2005 3:15:33 am On my shared account I don't have access with shell oder root right. This causes that the runcronjob was not running. So I looked up the forum to find a simple solution for me. I found this and tested it. http://www.ez.no/community/bugs/patch_for_systems_without_phpcli I works fine after I called my runcronjobs.php in the browser like http://www.mysite.com/myez/runcronjobs.php So my question is, what problems can cause this? I expect problems if the script is called very often and the server suffers, any other problems that I have to expect? Something simple to heal this disadvantage? Thanks for comments rob

This means you might break your db. So if you are in a need of running crons, I would recommend switching the host.
