I have to enter a command to do so. Do i just put



In the command field?

Its all just a [blur]blur to me!![/blur]

do this:


in the cron job field.

I've had troubles with lynx, you could also try something like this:

Make a file,
tickah.sh:


Then set the cron to tickah.sh and CHMOD 777 tickah.php.

I'm not sure if you can pass variables like that while using the php command...

Uh...well im using CPANEL and its a web based cron job interface.

And i put 1 in minute and then its asking me for a command so i done the lynx one. Totally baffled on the SH one.

Sorry for double posting but i can also say the lynx one dosent work!!

I think you want to look into the fopen command.


Here is an example that may help:

This is probably more than you need, but it shows the use of fopen. You could probably just make a php file with this in it:



and cron that file.
