Cron

[SieRobin]

I know this probably doesn't belong in here, but everyone here has actually given me legit help so I figured I'd ask.

I'm trying to set up a cron job to run turns on my MMORPG Web Based website, but I'm not very familiar with cron, so what command do I need to run to do this?

Log on your server as the user you want to run the cronjob. The cronjob will run at intervals depending on how you set it up. See below.

at the command line use:
crontab -e

There edit your crontab using the following sintax:
A crontab file has five fields for specifying day , date and time  followed by the command to be run at that interval.
*    *  *  *    *  command to be executed and arguments
-    -    -    -    -
|    |    |    |    |
|    |    |    |    +----- day of week (0 - 6) (Sunday=0)
|    |    |    +------- month (1 - 12)
|    |    +--------- day of month (1 - 31)
|    +----------- hour (0 - 23)
+------------- min (0 - 59)

If you're going to run a PHP script from crontab please remember that your "command to be executed and arguments" should look like this

[code]/usr/bin/php -f /full/path/to/phpfile.php[/code]

And remember to use absolute paths in your scheduled code.
