[TYPO3-english] Scheduler: uptime instead of cron job?

[Dennis Hoffland]

Hello,

 

I have installed the Scheduler (sysext) to automatically keep me up to date
of any changes in my extensions. The manual test ran smoothly. However, the
cron job needed to trigger the Scheduler is not available as part of my
hosting package.

 

I am wondering if it would be possible to call the typo3/cli_duspatch.phpsh
from a site monitoring service (uptime).

 

My first attempt to do so was unsuccessful, even when I changed the
permissions of cli_duspatch.phpsh to 755. Access continues to be blocked, it
seems (no response from the server).

 

Does anyone have experience with this (obviously I am looking for a secure
solution)?

 

Kind regards,

 

Dennis
