How do i run a cronjob for drupal???

plz help...thx

 

If you are using cPanel, simply login and then click on CronJobs.

From there, you should be able to schedule the time at which cron jobs are performed.

for example,

 

so do i put that in the cpanel line or do i put this:

http://mydomain.com/cron.php

plz let me know thx...i just need it to run every 1/2 hr...

 

you need to use wget command or php command to initiate the cron.php file

 

minutes: 30
hours: every hours
months: every months
days: every days:
weekdays: every week days

command: php /home/siteuser/www/admin/cron.php

Change siteuser with your ftp user.

it will run every 30 minutes.

and also I have given an example in this thread

You could also install the Poormanscron module. It allows you to set the cron settings in Drupal and you can force a cron to run whenever you want from the admin/logs/status page.

if you are having cpanel, use cron job link.

add

command: php /home/siteuser/www/admin/cron.php
