Cron Jobs..

[Corey]

Ive been trying to get a cron job to run a PHP file for AGES now, and it will NOT work. Could someone please tell me exactly what to enter in to get it to run a php file located in public_html every hour.

Thanks.

Have you tried using

/usr/local/bin/php /home/*username*/domains/*domain*/public_html/file.php

for the command your cronjob runs?

No, I haved used

php q- /home/*username*/etc...

I will try what you have suggested, thanks!

And what about if the file need username and password?

It depends on the script that is being run. It needs to be able to accept extra information from standard input.

The script I've installed suggest to use this command:

25 * * * * curl --user login:pass http://www.zyx.com/blog/wp-content/update-feeds.php -d update=quiet

or

25 * * * * cd $HOME/www/wp/wp-content ; php -q update-feeds.php

How can I translate this command to be used in direct admin?

Can you help me?

Change the cd path to whatever your path is on your server.
