Matthew Weier O'Phinney:
Deployment with Zend Server (Part 2 of 8)
Aug 29, 2014 @ 16:55:04

Matthew Weier O'Phinney has posted the second part of his series with some tips around application deployment with Zend Server. In this latest post he shares his second tip related to recurring jobs.

This is the second in a series of eight posts detailing tips on deploying to Zend Server.The previous post in the series detailed getting started with zf-deploy to create ZPK packages to deploy to Zend Server. Today, I'm looking at how to created scheduled/recurring jobs using Zend Server's Job Queue; think of this as application-level cronjobs.

Instead of running the jobs as cron tasks (which may or may not be installed if there's multiple servers), he opts for a software-based approach. He walks you through the use of the Zend Server Job Queue to create a simple reoccurring execution to run a PHP script at a certain time. He includes some code examples with one showing just the scheduling of a job and the other showing how to detach previous jobs and add only the new ones that weren't scheduled before.
