1 min crons...

My site requires 1 minute cron jobs. Is this acceptable?

Please reply ..

No, unless you are on paid. 5 minutes is the minimum for free accounts. Why do you need such a quick interval? There are ways to simulate this without being so resource intensive.

I am running a RPG This needs the 1 minute cron for the energy bar, brave bar, Jail and Hosp time ... Ect ... but i could find a script to do it without crons but may take a while ..

All you would need to do is put a iframe at the bottom of the page for the game and have it load your cron script.

On your page:

<IFrame Src="path/to/cron.php" Scrolling=No Frameborder=0
Marginheight=0 Marginwidth=0 Width=1 Height=1 />

Make sure cron.php will print out the follow at it's completion:

<Meta Http-equiv="Refresh" Content="5  />

Replacing path/to/cron.php with your real path and content="5" with how many seconds until the refresh.

Just be aware if you end up using mega-resources on every run of the script, it'll suspend you for excessive resource use. Just FYI.
