cron jobs

[GeeZus]

Never setup one before so abit stuck at the moment.

It's showing this in the file but don't know how to fill it out.

//replace udp & dht with http (doesnt matter if it doesnt scrape)
    $tracker = str_replace('udp://', 'http://', $tracker);
    $tracker = str_replace('dht://', 'http://', $tracker); //mod by phrostwave
    $trackers = bin2hex(trim($tracker));
    $url = pack("H*", $trackers);
    $nurl = pack("H*", $trackers);

Also, after i've uploaded the file, do i have to run it via cpanel? a URL?
Just got no clue with this sorry
Any help please.

After you upload the file you have to set the cron job up in cpanel. It is the easiest way to start a cron job.

Videos on cron jobs via cpanel: http://video.google.ca/videosearch?q...itle&resnum=4#

I'd walk you through them, but, I'm not that great with setting them up

Thanks JJJ.

I'm sitting here watching the video(s).

Hopefully it won't be that hard once i've watched it haha .

Its pretty easy. Just click cron jobs in cpanel. Put the cron job command in. Select how often you want it to run and your good to go. I've only done a couple simple ones. Never set up a board before.

Say like for example:

/public_html/external/itask/{PHP FILE}

OR

/public_html/{account name}/external/itask/{PHP FILE}

someone else will have to help with this. sorry :/

Just save the things you want to be done in a php file somewhere in your public_html.
Let's say: http://website.com/phpfile.php

When that's done just add the cronjob and put this:

wget -q http://website.com/phpfile.php

This will also execute the code on that phpfile

And end result is this.



Thanks Whoo
