Dobakat Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 Well I am a php coder and I am trying to make an Text-Based Game. Every 15 minutes every user should get +5 energy, every midnight they should be healed, and many other things that need to be done on daily, hourly, minutly, weekly bases. I found out that on my host there are Cron Jobs, that will execute a comand. Sadly for me it says that "You need to have a good knowledge of Linux commands before you can use cron jobs effectively" but I have no ideas on Linux Commands. Is it posible that through this Cron Jobs using Linux Commands execute a .php file? In this file it will contain the MySql query that shall be run, depending on the time. If it is possible, can someone tell me how? Thanks. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/16167-linux-commands-i-have-no-idea/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
