Cron

[Miichael]

Hello

 

I would like to understand how to use cron on a wamp server.  I am pretty much a novice at apache and probably know just enough to be dangerous.

 

I suppose I need to know how to install and manage the utility.

 

I've done a lot of googling but have not found anything that seems to be helpful on my level.

 

If anyone knows of a tutorial or two that would help me I would greatly appreciate it.

 

Also, any information on disabling a running process would be greatly appreciated.  Say, for example, how would one directly terminate a program that is runnning in an infinite loop.

 

Thanks

Have you a Linux server? or are you using windows? Cron is not available on the latter. Its called Task Scheduler on windows.

 

Here is a quick howto on cron on Linux -> http://wiki.kartbuilding.net/index.php/Crontab
