I use a bash script which, on many Linux servers are located at /etc/cron.d/

Code:
#!/bin/sh

cd {CodeIgniter public root folder}

php index.php {controller} {method}

The stuff between the curly brackets needs to be supplied by you. Basically you change directory to where the CI index.php is and then run PHP using the command shown. Substitute the actual controller's and the method's names.

The command in the cron job will be something along these lines

Code:
/etc/cron.d/{name of bash script}

I have access to crontab command but cannot create new job

RE: Add cronjob command line - dave friend - 10-31-2019

If you cannot create a new job then they have locked you out. Not unreasonable because great mischief is possible.

Does the ISP provide a C-Panel where you can schedule jobs? That's pretty typical for shared hosting. They do often limit what you can accomplish though.
