Possible to run a symfony task at a certain time of the day automatically?

php, scheduled-tasks, symfony-1.4

Solution

You have to use your system's cron task scheduler. If you're on a shared hosting account with CPanel you can easily set that up via that interface. Otherwise, you might want to look at the following website: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/how-do-i-add-jobs-to-cron-under-linux-or-unix-oses/

Problem

I have tasks that I can run through the command line manually, but what if I wanted it to run automatically, once a day, at noon. Can that be done with symfony or would an external process have to be used?
