I have created a module for cron job in magento.

I have created a Observer

public function abc()
{
//my action here
}

I have created cron job for this in config.xml file.

<crontab>
            <jobs>
                <Mbyte_abcd>
                        <schedule>
                            <cron_expr>* * * * *</cron_expr>
                        </schedule>
                        <run>
                    <model>abcd/observer::abc</model>
                                   </run>
        </Mbyte_abcd>
    </jobs>
</crontab>

This is working fine for me.

Now my question is i want to run cron job for my controller.

public function cdeAction()
{
//my action here
}
  1. Is this possible to run cron job for controller?
  2. Is this possible to use to use controller method in observer?

If yes please explain how.

The purpose of controllers is to manage request/responses registered by user actions. In order to do your trick here and call the function from controller you have some choices:

  1. do a redirect from observer to controller action
  2. copy the controller function into observer (with proper changes)
  3. register a new cron in server that makes a wget/url call to your controller action

  • I am us $this->_redirect('module/controller/action'); in my observer but this is not redirecting to controller method. – Deepak Mankotia Oct 01 '14 at 08:56
  • @DeepakMankotia You need to access your server files or cPanel and register a new cron job. – aki Oct 01 '14 at 12:01
  • @DeepakMankotia Also, you can try digging into `Mage::getControllerInstance()` command and try various experiments with it. You can find it in app/Mage.php. I personally didn't used this so far. – aki Oct 01 '14 at 12:05

create a controller in magento 2, in the action of controller create a function with the help of objectmanager and call the cron function as shown below.

$objectManager = \Magento\Framework\App\ObjectManager::getInstance();           
$cronvariable = $objectManager->create(\Vendor\module\Cronname\foldername\function::class);
               $cronvariable->execute();
