    Hey!

    I just setup WHM AutoPilot and it says I need to setup some cron jobs but I have never heard of it and don't know what I need to set them up.

    Could someone please explain how I add these cron jobs please?

    Hi if you have Cpanel it has a section for adding cron jobs, cron jobs are a task that runs automatically at a set time instead of you doing it manually

    Thanks

    If you don't have cPanel, you can setup cronjobs manually from the command lin/shell

    # crontab -e

    And you can read this to tell you what to put where

    He has cPanel, WHM AutoPilot supports only WHM/cpanel.
