not sure if this would be the place to post it, but how would you setup a cronjob to execute a php file? say if i have a file update.php that updates my mysql db, how would i set a cron job to automatically run that file everyday?
aim not yet allowed to post active links (I'm too new here), but this can help you: mailm.co.uk/mm/admin/resources/tutorials/cron_intro.html Good luck!
yup, that did help, but i'm still a bit confused about some of the flags, and googling doesn't get me much. -q? or is that plesk specific?
so it means run all the php coding in that file? does that mean it won't run php coding without a -q tag?
Without the -q, it'll have no idea why you're giving it a file. The -q means "I'm about to give you a file, at the times I've just mentioned, run all of this script."
