Create Cron Jobs in TYPO3

Question

My extension needs to send in emails to different users everyday at a specific time mentioning few details.

How do I perform cron jobs in TYPO3?

Typo3 Version 6.1.1. Extension is built on extension builder.

Answer 1

You should use Scheduler extension (it's delivered with TYPO3 sources but not enabled by default) - in your extension you need to create a Scheduler's task

For details read its documentation at: typo3/sysext/scheduler/doc/manual.sxw

There are also sample Scheduler's tasks available in TYPO3's extensions repository, but you need to check if they are actuall for TYPO3 ver. 6+, cause I didn't test it.
