How To Setup Cron Job To Run .php File

  • Hi,
    I installed a plugin that require me to setup a cron job.
    They dont give instructions as the plugin is in beta, but they assume that we know how to do this…

    I am trying to figure how to start the cron job,
    I use cpanel…

    What is the cron command i need to use in order to get automate.php to run every 3 minutes ?

    i tried :
    */3 * * * * /usr/local/bin/php -q /home/user/public_html/video/wp-content/plugins/automate.php

    and it doesnt work…

    Thanks

  • what is the -q option for? try without it and first check the output of the command you’re trying to schedule (/usr to php in this case) and if it is ok cron should work
