Has anyone tried this cron on v9? We only need the first part to work, getting the feed to run.

Yes this works on V9, nothing changes from previous versions to getting this setup

Using the instructions here... http://www.emporiumplus.com/v5/tdfcron.txt I have 4 feeds I'd like to run a couple of times per week. Is there a way to list all 4 feeds on the one page or do I need to create separate pages for each feed? I've tried two different ways to run multiple feeds on one page and am getting redirect loop errors doing so. The one feed at a time option as posted in the instructions works fine, it would just be nice to have them all on one page with one cron to run it.

Because of possible time out issues, you really want to do each feed separately as a separate page. You should do four cron jobs.

Remember a cron can not execute javascript. It isn't like a full blown browser or sophisticated robot is grabbing the page. Keep it simple and it will work smoothly.
