In this tutorial I show you how to set up a cron job that will run a script on your site every few minute. You can also set cron jobs to run every hour, every day, once a week or once a year.

Nice tutorial. Very helpful.

[@gameeverything687]

Very good tutorial. I'll be doing email next after I figure this out. So I set up a counter script on my site and it's just still not increasing. It increases when I go to the page, but here's the cron job: /usr/local/bin/php -q /home/zafadadynamic/public_html/testing/testing_cron_counter.php It's just a no-go. I game it a little time and it just doesn't work. :(

[@muzzamilshahzad4427]

Thank you very much for this great tutorial.....:)

[@RiddimDubstep]

For me worked like this: php /home/user/public_html/trackname.php >/dev/null 2>&1 P.S. You can set cron jobs for less than one minute. Oh, well. There is a workaround for this. Do 2 PHP functions and inside each other set an if clause for which you set a counter. Then execute the second function from the first one and the first function from the second one. When the if clause not met (if x < y for example) exit() the function. Then set sleep() for every few seconds you want. For example, set the if clause to 10 and sleep() to 6. If x is not < y then it exit(), else, it executes the if content.

[@RiddimDubstep]

Note: That PHP will run on background on that period of time. Better set the cronjob to one minute and the PHP as I sad rather than set the cronjob to one hour for example, and set the if clause to 600 (for one hour). You'll run into timeout.

[@renatojunior4571]

Very thanks bro
