    In codeigniter we can not produce this url. And share some code what you have tried so far. – Bhavin Jun 19 '17 at 13:47
  • Thanks Bhavin,My code is working fine in url but cron is not working. I checked my code and that is correct. – Hemant Anjana Jun 19 '17 at 13:50
  • Try like curl "http://www.example.com/myfolder/application/controllers/cron/cron_controller?option=com_jnews&act=cron" – hrishi Jun 19 '17 at 14:23

In the crontab simply define

0 * * * * php /controllers/cron/cron_controller.php

it will work, Here * are variables (time)

Example of job definition:
.---------------- minute (0 - 59)
|  .------------- hour (0 - 23)
|  |  .---------- day of month (1 - 31)
|  |  |  .------- month (1 - 12) OR jan,feb,mar,apr ...
|  |  |  |  .---- day of week (0 - 6) (Sunday=0 or 7) OR sun,mon,tue,wed,thu,fri,sat
|  |  |  |  |
*  *  *  *  * user-name command to be executed

When you're trying to run cron, you're running from the command line, but you'll still need to go through the index. So your cron command would be:

* * * * * php index.php cron cron_controller
