Description of my issue:
This is not so much an issue but a question. I have found a great utility called JPrcCron ( http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/administration/admin-performance/19490 ) that now allows me to bypass Godaddy's crappy cron support. I can now successfully send out jevents e-mail reminders, and will shortly be testing this with akeeba backup. I saw over at the developer's help forum ( http://www.prieco.com/en/forum/17-jprc-cronjobs/592-jprc-cronjobs-for-akeeba-backup-.html) that someone was successfully able to use this utility to automate an akeeba backup using its ssh option and the following command:
php -q /home/user/administrator/components/com_akeeba/backup.php &
on: Note the ampersand & at the end of the command which makes the command execute in the background. This command is run in ssh mode.
I was wondering if you had any thoughts on using this method before I attempt it. I have attached a screenshot of the utility's backend. If it does work it would be a great help to those of us with clients stuck on godaddy.
