In the cronjobs directory create a init.php file:

<?php

$time = microtime(true);
$memory = memory_get_usage();

// Define path to application directory
defined('APPLICATION_PATH')
    || define('APPLICATION_PATH', realpath(dirname(__FILE__) . '/../application'));

// Define application environment
defined('APPLICATION_ENV')
    || define('APPLICATION_ENV', 'development');

// Ensure library/ is on include_path
set_include_path(implode(PATH_SEPARATOR, array(
    realpath(APPLICATION_PATH . '/../library'),
    get_include_path(),
)));

/** Zend_Application */
require_once 'Zend/Application.php';

// Create application, bootstrap, and run
$application = new Zend_Application(
    APPLICATION_ENV,
    APPLICATION_PATH . '/configs/application.ini'
);
$application->bootstrap();

register_shutdown_function('__shutdown');

function __shutdown() {
global $time, $memory;
$endTime = microtime(true);
$endMemory = memory_get_usage();

echo '
Time [' . ($endTime - $time) . '] Memory [' . number_format(( $endMemory - $memory) / 1024) . 'Kb]';
}

This will bootstrap the application but not run it. This will start the application in the development environment (APPLICATION_ENV). You can make a cronjob environment in your application.ini if you need special settings. I added some extra information about execution time and memory usage, which might come in handy.

Now your ready to add the real script. Just add the scripts in the cronjobs directory and include the init.php file:

<?php

require_once 'init.php';

// The actual script.

Now you can access all namespaced zend framework classes from your project in your scripts.

Adobe Reader could not open 'file.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded).

I had the noViewRenderer set in my action but that wasn’t enough. Place the snippet below in your controller action:

$this->_helper->layout->disableLayout();
self::getFrontController()->setParam("noViewRenderer", true);
