cron jobs

[Desbrina]

I'm trying to set up a cron job so that a file runs every 15 minutes

I'm using the standard interface but a couple bits have me confused

First of the field called: Command to run:
What do i put there? Is it the location of the script or something else

Second, if i want it to run every 15 minutes, what do i put the Hour(s) as?

The rest i believe i understand, just not those two

Are you trying to use a cron with a PHP script?

Hour: Every hour
Command: wget -q /path/to/script.php

[Desbrina]

yeah, its a php script located in my area

Do use url or this for the path?
/usr/home/Desbrina/public_html/mt/script.php

Either is fine or so I think, but I would use the path relative to document root (what you have there) because it saves a lookup for the URL.

[Desbrina]

it seems only the url version is working

The script emails me when it runs so i know it works

It doesn't email if i use
/usr/home/Desbrina/public_html/mt/script.php

but it does if i use
http://midnighttempest.com/script.php


Thanks for the help with it though, just wanted to point the above out

If you want you can try WebCron ( http://webcron.org/ ). I have never used it so I don't know how it works.

PS: I forgot to say it's free

i have another question about them. They run fine, but everytime them run, i end up with many files with the same name in one of my folders (the root one before public_html)

Is there a way to delete them, either automated through cpanel, or a way through the scripts?
