Better way to make cron jobs

[xxMAGRAOxx]

Hi, i've created a module and i need that the client when install the module create too a cron job that run every day calling cron.php file that is localizated inside module folder. 

 

I don't know if i Let the responsability for the client do this under the server configuration or suggest they to user the cron module. 

 

The cron module is trustworthy? I probabily will have windows and linux clients.

 

Another question. I  need to make a call by php, right? Becouse the prestashop need autentication token on url call.

Ex. http:www/myprestashop/admin/modules/mymodule/cron.php 

 

or

 

php http:www/myprestashop/admin/modules/mymodule/cron.php

 

 

Thanks!

With my AJAX Dropdown Categories module, I have modules/categoriesnc/cron.php which uses a secure key generated when the module is installed to prevent it being misused. I then print the full URL with the secure key on my module's configuration page and rely on the merchant to manually create their own cron job with the specified URL.
