Cron jobs with php files?

[GGT]

My webhost provided Direct Admin ... but I can't seem to be able to set up a cron job to execute a php file

any help?

Either add:

#!/usr/bin/php

to the top of your php script, or alternatively use this cron command:

/usr/bin/php /path/to/file.php

Hi,

I'm trying to get netstatus to work with cron job
So just do

/usr/bin/php /home/user/netstatus/cronjob/cron.php
and for time change * to 5 for minutes and leave all others *

Or anything im doing wrong?

Thanks

For every 5 minutes, I use: */5 * * * *

I'm sure there are other ways to do it too.
