    I have files that collect the information from search engines and store the results in mysql. I want this file to run everyday in background so it can generate reports for each day.
    I need files
    www.domain.com/file.php,
    www.domain.com/file2.php?url=ab.com
    www.domain.com/file3.php to run once every every day at 9am, 3pm and 7pm.

    How to run this file in background using cron jobs,
    I have cpanel, but i am getting confused to set there.
    I am totally new using cron jobs and linux commands.

    So please explain me whole procedure.
