Cron jobs

pollux1er

Hi to every body. I have a preoccupation about doing a task scheduled in a php script. I need some help because i have been told that it it 'cron jobs'.
I need to know what it is and how i will use it. Thanks to help me

in CPanel:
the advanced section->cron jobs
try the standard version
in the command to run field I think you have to fill in something like this:
/usr/bin/lynx -source http://you.frihost.net/script.php

then select the day, minute, enz when to run it. You can use ctrl if you want to select more than one.

If it doesn't work the first time enter your email address in the email field, that makes it easier to find the problem.

And is it possible to execute that script every day
?

yes, just take a look at that page in cpanel and try some things. You can run a script anytime you want. Even things like every day on 3pm and 1am but only in the first and 8th month of the year are possible.

nothing needs to be done in the script itself. You only have to create a cronjob. For more info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cron

And did you already look at that page in CPanel, I though it was pretty self-explaining.
