Cron Jobs

Stone Camel · February 1st, 2006, 6:35 PM

Hi All,

I am trying to set up a Cron job that runs a particular web page on a scheduled basis.

I have tried putting in the path to the page (www/directory/pagename.php) and that didn't work. I have also tried putting in a URL to the page (http://www.stonecamel.com/pagename.php) and that didn't work either.

I am sure this is a simple thing to do, but I am a clueless windows user and Cron gives me a headache every time I think about it.

Thanks,

John

Well, I'm not a Cron master but I believe you've posted in the wrong forum, this is for cPanel related issues, however, Im sure someone with the knowledge will come to you soon.

If the desired page is a PHP page, then your cron input in the box would be the following:

Code:

php /home/username/www/directory/pagename.php

.

I would think this is the right forum since CPanel is where you set Cronjobs at.
