VPS cron job

[Spooky]

Hi all,

I need to run a php script, checkhosts_bot.php, on a vps.

Anyone have the correct way to do this?

Thanks in advance.

use crontab

to add a cronjob in ssh type

crontab -e

to remove

crontab -r

to list your current cronjobs

crontab -l

type "crontab man" in ssh for more info

you can give a cronjob to your script like

*/5 * * * * /usr/bin/php /your/path/to/phpfile.php

*/5 runs every 5 minutes
