Question

This is how my controller looks like

<?php defined('SYSPATH') or die('No direct script access.');

class Controller_Cron extends Controller {

    public function before() {

        if(!Kohana::$is_cli) ;
    }

    public function action_index() {
        $myFile = "C:\cron.txt";
        $fh = fopen($myFile, 'w') or die("can't open file");
        fwrite($fh, "\n");
        $stringData = date('Y-m-d H:i:s');
        fwrite($fh, $stringData);
        fclose($fh);
    }
}

?>

I run the script through a command line using this

php "C:\Program Files (x86)\EasyPHP\www\myweb\index.php" --uri=cron/index

where cron is the controller and index is a function.

Now what I need is to run the script every x-minute

When I run the script through the browser, it is only that time that the C:\cron.txt is modified.
I heart by putting this

public function before() {

        if(!Kohana::$is_cli) ;
    }

was to avoid any access via the browser ?
So,
1. How can I deny access from the browser ?
2. How can I make the code running every x-minute ?
