 * Hi all,
 * is it possible to run a cron job to trigger a few plugins automatically?
 * i already have tried to curl and wget the link that i get from the button that
   triggers the function on the plugin but it does not work.
 * do i have to make a php page with the link and access to my wp and run a cron
   on that, or what are my options?
 * Ty
    Take care

 * Hi,
 * I’m running a sub directory wordpress multisite, and I have 2 plugins that I 
   would like to automate, therefore not needing to log in and press the button 
   to run the function.
 * one of the plugin button has this path:
 * [http://www](http://www).**domain**.com/**sub-directory**/wp-admin/?page=**plugin**&
   _wpnonce=39e468ed71&p=&action=run&_fid=5
 * i have tried to set up a cron with:
    *curl **link**; and *wget **link**
 * but without success in running the plugin function.
 * i would like then to know if there is a way for me to run this plugin fuction
   with a cron job?
 * Ty

 * Hi Webjunk,
 * Thanks for your effort in helping me out.
 * The solution you gave me has one problem that is it will only trigger when someone
   visits my site.
 * I wanted a command to input in a cron job to go around this.
 * Once again, thanks for your time
 * Take care

 * Hey Experts,
 * How can I add wp_schedule_event for multisite plugin. That event will fire for
   all blog across the network. It is easy to add in single site blog. I’ll wonder
   if anyone help me as early as possible.
 * Thanks
