Setup a CRON job in cPanel
طباعة- 0
If you’d like to run a script on your website at specified intervals, you can just setup a CRON job and it will run your script automatically at that time. Here’s how you set it up:
-
Login to your cPanel
-
Scroll down to Advanced section
-
Click on "CRON jobs"
-
Set the time interval for which you’d like to run your CRON job
Note: Cron jobs with frequency of less than 15mins will default to 15mins to prevent crons from using up precious server resources - Enter the command to eun your script:
For example, to run a PHP script at an interval, set the command as: php /home/username/public_html/cron.php (where cron.php is your PHP file)
