Cron job to run .php

    HI I'm trying to set up a cron job via godaddy that will execute a .php file on the server, anyone know an easy way to achieve this?

    I tried this as the cron command:

    /usr/local/bin/php /var/chroot/home/content/g/c/l/g****/html/area***/openclose/cronopen.php

    But got:

    No such file or directory

    So.. I'm sorta stuck, any help would be awesome.. thanks!
