Say I want 10-12 products on one page, with reviews and pricing. Which means I have to have a refresh the timestamp every 24 hours per TOS guidelines of Amazon…
Timo was saying I can use cronjobs to update products in the backend cpanel/ssh, without having a user refresh the page to refresh the timestamp, total reviews, is this correct?
I tried to explain Timo the 24 hour timestamp refresh dilemma before, which basically means if you list the price, you have to set Repo or Cache to 22-24 hours by Amazon’s TOS guidelines…
Timo provided me with a really cool website where it lists products with 5-7 products on one page, but I hope this user knows, you must provide a timestamp by Amazon’s TOS, or you could face termination with the Amazon Associates program.
I’ve been fooling around with cronjob in my cpanel, but I can’t seem to get it to work…

I opened up two tickets in past week, not sure if Timo is mad at me for asking for a refund the first time or he’s on vacation. I plan on keeping his plugin regardless if I can’t have 10-12 products on one page, it’s a great plugin with incredible features…

Here is my answer from the ticket:
I guess the problem in your cronjob configuration is the „wget“ part. The „script.sh“ should not be accessed via HTTP but via the bash/shell. So please try to replace „wget -q -O -“ with just „bash“. Then the shell script should be executed as expected. As long as you are testing, I would suggest to remove the error suppression part „>/dev/null 2>&1“. If it still does not work or does not produce any output, please change the option „Cronjob event“ in options „Advanced“ tab to anything other than the default, like „plugins_loaded“ event.
I think you are right about the Amazon TOS, but that is under the responsibility of each user. You have all the options with ASA 2 to show the required information like timestamp, disclaimer and so on.
I hope I could help you to get the cronjob running. If it still won’t do, please let me know. I am sure that we will get it to work, as it finally runs for every user I have helped with it so far.
Kind regards,
Timo
