Review: setcronjob.com

Hi,

Please give me some review for my site: www.setcronjob.com

Thanks

[2advance]

I think your site is based on time tracking system, nice idea and looks good..

[thuankkk]

2advance, thank you for you review

I like the idea. I don't have any use for it, though. It looks to be very well fleshed out, with the control panel demo. The design is a bit plain, but it's clean and easy to read. I don't know that you need any more for your target market.

Wow, the website looks exactly like PunBB / FluxBB's default theme. Have you considered using either of those forums? You wouldn't even need to change anything!

[blazintech]

I find it very plain and boring... maybe you should change the design a little bit.

This has potentials to be a very useful tool, good job!

However, one very important question -- how do you protect yourself from the legal aspect should the service become used for illegitimate means? You're offering a service to call any web-based script without any review or understanding of what the script might be doing. Yes, you have a disclaimer, but that won't hold up in a court of law should you be infringed with anything fishy.

Hi ww2db,

As I wrote in Term Of Use http://www.setcronjob.com/tos.php, SetCronJob only 'calls' a URL. This will not waste bandwidth of dest. URL nor server load.

And SetCronJob allows its users to run their script every 5 min (distinct select url), max 10 cron per account.

I know, you don't have any ill intent, but just want you to be careful and make sure you have yourself covered if anyone ever use the tool you developed for less-than-good purposes. Terms of Use doesn't always cover yourself in a court of law. You know whenever you go to an amusement park or go skiing, they always make you sign a waiver that you can't sue if you get hurt? Did you know those things don't always hold up in a court of law? Think of those waivers as equivalents of your Terms of Use...

Hi ww2db,

Thank you very much for your advice.

I'm not good at law, so I don't know what should I do...

Can you plz tell me what to do, as I can't know exactly how to check what a URL will execute..

You could verify every cron job before you allow it to function.

This will probably only be effective/logical while you have a small amount of traffic, but you could set it up so:

The user creates a cron-job, they can edit the hours,minutes,etc, but URL is locked. I'm sure you're storing these jobs in a database of some sort, so you have the cron-job as inactive until you click something on the back-end to activate it. Then it starts functioning.

It looks very functional there's a typo in the first sentence "executes" instead of "execute". I'd like to know how this site could apply me. I'm thinking things like backing up my personal PC to some server? Maybe you could better explain the site for those users that are not familiar with your application.

Thank you I've fixed it English is not my native language, and I'm grateful for any help on my typos.

As SetCronJob can call only URL in the internet, it can't call a script in your PC, except you do set up web server with IP or domain-names.

Nice and simple for the job needed.

Also a nice idea.

[robkwal]

Nice clean design! Using great fresh colours! Nice and easy to navigate the site! Like it

[thuankkk]

Thanks robkwal,
I'm glad you like my online cron jobs.

[peaceful_soul]

Putting some more content like "About us" , Services, reviews, opinion would help this selling to market. Design looks good.

[thuankkk]

Thank you, peaceful_soul rep+

I'll consider your opinion
