My server settings don't allow for a cron job every minute

I would like to set up an autoresponder.

I'm using Gandi simple hosting which unfortunately allows for cron jobs at most hourly.

http://wiki.gandi.net/en/simple/anacron

Per their instructions, I've added this line to the anacrontab file:

1@hourly php /srv/data/web/vhosts/coinforest.com/htdocs/sendy/autoresponders.php > /dev/null 2>&1

Will this at least allow for hourly sending of an autoresponder?

    Hi @nildram,

    If you set your cron job for autoresponders.php to run hourly, you can't use the "immediately" or "minutes" options in your autoresponders as your cron job only runs "per hour".

    If you want to use the "immediately" or "minutes" options, either upgrade your hosting tier to one that supports running a cron job every minute, change to a host that lets you run a cron job every minute or try running cron jobs from an external service.

    Best regards,
    Ben
