    How do I run a bash script every 15th minute by making a cron job on cpanel?

    I have tried to just enter the path of the script, and then to enter /bin/bash /path/to/script.sh, but that didn't work.

    Hello there,

    The best option would be to check with your host, as they would know the server setup, and should be able to help with your problems. I would also suggest you check your script to ensure it has execute permissions, and that the coding itself is correct.
