email setting to send scheduled emails

I have a table that I need to check every x minutes (via a cronjob) to see if there are pending notifications, these are inserted based on some changes.

Can the built in functions/settings already in PHPM19 be used to make this that will run as a php CLI script that will query the table to see the pending emails to send and send it and the update as sent? any guidance or best approach appreciated…

I don’t think so. There is no such feature in PHPMaker.

I use crunz along with my applavary/crunz is a cron job manager written in php… its pretty cool. I use it to run various scripts at certain times/dates etc. I just create custom script to read my table and do whatever and let crunz worry about executing it…
