[SOLVED] Automated script

[Aureole]

I need to make a script that runs itself every Hour, how do I do this/is it possible?

 

EDIT: I read about Cron Jobs/Tabs on Google.com and I see them in my CPanel but I don't know how to work it... well it says Command to run:

 

What do I put there? An absolute url:

 

http://www.site.com/script.php

 

?

i dont know how to set up a cron job, but the command would be (If on a unix server):

 

wget -q -O /dev/null http://www.site.com/script.php

Nevermind I've got it working I think, now the question is would this work for a cron job/tab:

 

<?php

include('functions.swr3');

dbConnect();

$c_timestamp = date();

$query = "SELECT * FROM members WHERE mem_online='1'";
$result = mysql_query($query);

while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result) {
    $mem_id = $row['mem_id'];
$mem_last_action = $row['mem_last_action'];

    $inactivity = $c_timestamp - $mem_last_action;

if($inactivity > 3600) {
        $query = "UPDATE members SET mem_online='0' WHERE mem_id='{$mem_id}'";
        $result = mysql_query($query);
}
}

?>

 

It needs to go through all online members and if their timestamp is more than an Hour old then sign them out automagically.
