Default Re: Executing Automated Task in PHP

Hi,

A cron job is basically a scheduled task run at an interval you set. Without knowing specifics of your hosting i can't really advise you further. Do you have a control panel for your hosting account?

The actual job to be run can be anything you want ( that is executable ). It could be a php script / bash script / executable etc.

Post some more details about your hosting and I can advise you further.

Mike
