如何在Web应用程序中实现cron作业逻辑？ [关闭]

Question

In our web application, we need to implement a business logic like: An order's status will be changed from "Submitted" to "Expired" after two weeks, if the seller does not take any action.

We are using php5+apache+mysql+linux. To implement this logic, we need something like a linux crontab task that is scheduled to run two weeks later when the order is submitted. The task is to trivially check whether there is action recorded in the database. If not, then update the status string in the database.

Is there some service like this in Apache or linux? What is an elegant way to implement this logic?

Thanks.

Answer 1

Only one Cron job, that will executes a php script ...
This cron will run everyday in order to check and update status in database
