Cron Jobs

[Brndnjng]

I want to run a php script every three hours. How can I do this with a unix server cron job?

Thanks in advance.

Do you have cpanel acess? If you do then this can be completed very easily

Yes, but you need access to the PHP cli interface. From there, assuming php is in /usr/bin:

* */3 * * * /usr/bin/php /path/to/script

You can also specify the shebang (#!/usr/bin/php) in teh top of your file if you dont' need this script to be processed by the webserver in any way. Then just use the full path to the script.
