Worked perfectly for me too after including the index file as suggested by Terri Ann. Thanks all.

Thanks so much for sharing this! It worked perfectly and much faster as the hacked wget calls I was using as a work around until I came across a better solution.
I used your newest cli.php file but included the index file using
include(dirname(__FILE__).'/index.php');
As you had done in your earlier example. Great addition with teh constant now I can go and secure all those calls that should only be accessed from the CLI and update my site to have the CLI trigger a fresh cache of heavy queries and pages that I’m already caching with my fork of Phil Sturgeon’s original cache library. I’ll be comitting an update for it shotly to account for the constant defined in the cli.php file https://github.com/terriann/codeigniter-cache
Thanks again!

Hey Andrew thanks for the code – I understand this is a relatively old post but I wonder if you could give me some advice – I got a cron job to work using your code but in addition to the scheduled e-mail (via cron) I get the Daemon sending me a warning — any ideas? Thanks (using CI 2.0.2, PHP 5.2.14)

Eric, I think that would be more of a workaround. It involves Apache in making a web request when it’s not necessary. That and not all shared hosting accounts have access to wget.

Why don´t you just run the cron via wget?

Hi John -

REMOTE_ADDR is an index of the $_SERVER array. The condition should be:

isset($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'])

Hi! I really like this method. The problem I am having is that isset(REMOTE_ADDR) is returning FALSE. my command line is ./public_html/cli.php cron alert
