Sorry Bruce,
I reviewed the Documentation, however it was very simplisitic. I entered my command string and the time for the cron job to run which is everyday at midnight.
except that I received an error report from the server stating the following:
/bin/sh: line 1: www.troop186.com/cgi-bin/upcoming_events.cgi: No such file or directory
So what's wrong? Can I not execute a cgi script from cron?
The Script upcoming_events.cgi updates a file from a calendar program and displays the information on my website. hence the reason to automate the process.
