Execute a php file in /home/file.php to exclude from php limit

[basketmen]

i have a small php file that need to run about 30 minutes
but my php max_execution_time setting is default, only 30 seconds

so can i put the php file ie in /home/file.php to exclude from php limit & execute it via Cron job?
ie cron job commands : php /home/file.php

PHP: Runtime Configuration - Manual

There will be no time limit when running from cron job the way you specified.

Hello @basketmen,

The following document provides information about which PHP path to use when creating your cron job:

EasyApache 4 and the ea-php-cli Package - EasyApache 4 - cPanel Documentation

You can choose to use a specific reference directory with a PHP version and custom php.ini settings if you want to modify the default PHP configuration settings used by the instance of PHP associated with your cron job.

Let me know if this helps.

Thank you.
