    For a PHP script every 1 Hour would be something like this:

    0 * * * * /usr/bin/php $home/public_html/folder1/folder2/wakeup.php

    Does it has to include the $ sign?

    You could also just use curl and ping the page through your site..Its usually under /usr/bin (check w/ your host)...

    /usr/bin/curl mysite.com/ping.php

    (you need to add the http:slashslash as well - the forums is blocking me from adding that...)

    Correct - with the appropriate timing setup as listed by the poster above (if you're doing it through cPanel, it will walk you through the timing piece).
