    Please call the function from the command line.

    $ cd /path/to/project;
$ php index.php controller function

    Please change the controller and function according to your code.

    To elaborate on Rohan’s answer, you run the functions like php index.php controller function. So, for example, to run your script every Tuesday at 8:31AM, your crontab entry should look like :

    31 08 * * 2 cd /path/to/codeigniter; /usr/bin/php index.php QAPIv2 updateTestData;

    Try this:

    */1 * * * * /usr/bin/php /var/www/html/YOUR PROJECT FOLDER NAME/index.php YOUR FUNCTION NAME > /dev/null 2>&1

    First number is time for cron.In function name you should give the controller function name which you want to load in cron.
