Hello,

I am attempting to setup a cronjob that will generate an RSS feed from my database every 6 hours. I already made all the PHP code to do this, but I am not familiar with cronjobs and how to execute them.

Google search revealed this string to enter in the command line:

php /home/user/public_html/path/to/file.php

My question is, can I append variables to the end of the cron command?

For example:

php /home/user/public_html/path/to/file.php?action=generate&feed=1

The bolded portion is what I am unsure about. If someone with experience could please help me, I would greatly appreciate it!

I dont know for sure, but this is what I would do.

Take the command you want to cron, and run it from the shell. See if it works. If it works, put it in crontab. If not, back to Google.. :-P

edit... I dont think your code will work...

Check out this PHP.net reference on command line.
