I have noticed the crontab entry format is a little different between the OSs that I have used. For example redhat lets us use 0 or 7 for sunday, but solaris makes us use just 0, and I think AIX swaps the minute and hour fields. bberlia 04-06-2006, 01:49 AM I am using cPanel.. anjanesh 04-06-2006, 03:30 AM Login into CPanel goto Cron Jobs > Standard Cron Manager if you dont know the cron format. Yopu should be in a url something like this : http://domain.com:2082/frontend/x/cron/simplecron.html? Add your script in Command to run: box. bberlia 04-06-2006, 03:37 AM Ok.. but how to craete the script for the cron.. will that script be a simple php file anjanesh 04-06-2006, 05:39 AM script can be anything - even an exe file - just make sure the script can actually run on your server. An exe cant run on Linux directly - but maybe through some other tool - I dont know. Point is, its like you're running some command in shell - cron will just run it for you in the background at regular intervals. compjab 04-06-2006, 09:41 AM Hi , Can anybody please help me with the process of creating cron tabs to automatically refresh a asp page on my server Regards Bharat How often do you want this to happen?
