Answer 1

There is no build in cron function in codeigniter. What you can do is:

Create a cron on your server, which is calling a controller every x-time, e.g. every 5 minutes.

You create a new controller, e. g. scheduler, which is called by the server cron. In this controller you handle the cron request and checking the execution time.

The only difficult part is to calculate the times from a user input.

A not well written but working PHP solution is here: PHPScheduler

It is not codeigniter, but you can use this as a starter.
