[quote author="bobbob" date="1245367734"]To run a cron job is there a way of redirecting in a file[/quote]
What does redirecting
in a file mean?
Quote: that then goes to a codeigniter controller
What goes to - the cron job, or the redirected .. something?
Quote: and runs a normally or is that simply not possible with cron?
What runs normally?
I'm speculating that you want to run a job periodically, and that job needs to hit a web page with an arbitrary URL. Is that right?
You've failed to mention what OS you're on, which is going to affect the elegance of any solution.
If I've guessed right then (apart from me getting a gold star) there is good news - you can do that. You want
lynx or
wget, and you'd call these at the end of the shell script that is called by cron.
