If it's can executed from external server just set cron in other server
I understand it, the problem is so many people try and use cheap shared hosting as a cheaper substitute to a cheap vps, all it takes is 50 people that want to run heavy crons every minute and everyone has a bad time.
To be fair it is in their terms so you absolutely could have done something about it.. got a VPS instead.
That said, perhaps the correct thing to do if you're just running something lightweight is to ask them to set the cron up for you, if all else fails: https://cron-job.org/en/
I didnt use a vps as the host has lightspeed which makes what i do so much quicker, but yea if i get it sorted out ill use one of those
You could just do the following:
Setup 15 cronjobs like this:
sleep 14m ; command here
sleep 13m ; command here
What Anthony says, generally get a different host as the limitations are part of the ToS most likely.
If you try what robohost says, make sure the host is not using some shitty software like Bitninja as you may end up with everyone emailed about you attacking the interwebz.
Lol...
%command%
sleep 60
%command%
...
...
If a host has a limit on cron job frequency and doesn't monitor long running processes like that, they'd be born yesterday and there's probably a whole lot of other reasons to move away from them.
I use webcron service easycron.com which manages multiple sites cronjobs and provides feedback and reporting.
