For me this is an exciting addition to the Noodleman range, will be giving this a good look!

@Noodleman Do you think we can update the extension to remove the .htaccess 

deny from all

in the cron folder?

Reason being is that it allows for not only cron jobs like;

wget -q -O - https://www.example.com/modules/plugins/back_in_stock_notifications/cron/back_in_stock_notifications_cron.php >/dev/null 2>&1

Edit

but also a web service like Easy Cron.

[Al Brookbanks 201]

Suggested cron to be something like;

cd /path/to/public_html/modules/plugins/back_in_stock_notifications/cron/; /usr/local/bin/php -q back_in_stock_notifications_cron.php

An extension developer doesn't get notified of updates in these forum posts so @Noodleman may not have seen this

[Al Brookbanks 201]

True. Thanks for that.

Did this get sorted as it's something I would be interested in for my store

Deny from all will not be removed for security reasons. The cron job is designed to run as being called directly, not via wget.  The module is not designed to expose the start of the job to the internet. 

There should be no requirement, or need to ever call a cron job via wget.

I disagree but respect your decision.
