syntax for cron?

[dezkit]

i am trying to run a script once a day at 12 am, i know it is used by cron, but i am unsure on what to put in.

autodelete.php is the name of my file.

 

thank you

you should check with your service provider on how to set up crons with them.

0 23 * * * /path/file/autodelete.php >/dev/null 2>&1

depending on the host you might have to provide where php lives

0 23 * * * php /path/file/autodelete.php >/dev/null 2>&1

0 23 * * * user/bin/php /path/file/autodelete.php >/dev/null 2>&1

0 23 * * * user/bin/php4 /path/file/autodelete.php >/dev/null 2>&1

0 23 * * * user/bin/php5 /path/file/autodelete.php >/dev/null 2>&1

 

its even possible you may need to change the path to a url, but one of the above variations should work. Why not ask your hoster for an example or use their forum?
