CronJobs

WuLabsWuTecH · 07-03-2006, 07:32 PM

To this day I still have never understood cronjobs and how to get one to work. No wi need a crongjob to work. Specifically, I need

maintenance.php to run every hour.

It is located at http://www.wuproxy.com/ads/maintenance/maintenance.php

I am using direct admin but I assume it'd be the same for any Control Interface. What would I type in the command line to get it to run (I can se the hours and things it will run in the graphical interface, just need the command.

Thanks!

For the URL or w/e, do php /home/YOURUSERNAME/public_html/ads/maintenance/maintanace.php

The rest is easy if you go into simple mode and tell it do go every hour.

(I think the php /path/ is right. It is different on different servers/OS's.)

maybe you like to ask your host how to add cron or they have disable cron service...

Ask your host, it's the best thing to do in this situation.
