cron using datamanager issues

[lyndonb]

Hi all!

I'm new to Vbulletin, but have programming experience. I'm trying to create a cron to automatically open and close forums.

I have the script fully setup, but it fails on the cron (works when I open the script in a browser).

I've hunted and line in init.php 414 ---->

$vbulletin->session =& new vB_Session($vbulletin, $sessionhash, $vbulletin->GPC[COOKIE_PREFIX . 'userid'], $vbulletin->GPC[COOKIE_PREFIX . 'password'] , $styleid, $languageid);

is the show stopper. Its creating a session, which obviously isn't happening when the script runs from the command line.

Does anyone have any suggestions here?

Thanks in advance

Lyndon
