[SOLVED] Question

hello people

 

I see people are talking a little about Cron jobs. I have read up a little on them through google and have gotten a little confused. Is this just a linux thing? It's something new to me and i want to use this later on in my project. Can anyone explain this to me or point me to a good site. Can i make these code in windows?

cron is simply, setting a time, and setting a file to execute on that time. It is a linux thing, and is included in most webhosting plans that have Cpanel. It isn't a windows thing, and I don't think it is possible to install any form of cron on a windows machine.

 

Cron is pretty straight forward to use, and their are many guides you can find on google.

If the web hosting sites gui offers it than you can use it. Windows alternative to cron job is Scheduled Tasks. More limited, but may be able to do the same thing.

 

Usually Cronjobs are setup via SSH, unless the webhost specifically has a place in their GUI, if it is a windows hosted machine you may not have that option.
