Hello

 

I have no experience with cron jobs, but I want to accomplish a simple task.

 

I want to run a php script every 15 minutes that will check for updates from an RSS feed. Can someone offer the code for how to set that up as a cron job?

 

thanks

Hi Roy, welcome to the family.

 

Setting up a cron job is pretty painless. Take a look at the attached image.

 

In your cPanel select Cron Jobs and then Standard. Fill in the fields as per attached image.

 

Replace the email address with your email address and set the path to your php file. That's it.

 

Also, moving for organization.
