i'm using cron job bootstrapper

Thanks for the response.

For clarification, I'm using cron job bootstrapper too, and I'm running the script in this way:

Code:

shell$ /opt/lampp/bin/php cron.php --run=/script/test/run/uri_secret

In the controller I have a function that check the access, I call the function in this way:

Code:

$this->_checkAccessProcess(php_sapi_name(),$uri_secret);

Code:

function _checkAccessProcess($request=null,$uri_secret=null)
{
    if ( strtolower($request) != "cli" || $clave != $CI->config->item("secret_word") )
    {
        show_404();
    }
    else
    {
        return true;
    }
}

If somebody have a better way please tell me.

Thanks.
Nonox
