Executing a script each hour with cron

[Anon]

I need a php script to run each hour on my server to make some updates to the database and I´ve been told you do this in cron. However I´m pretty much a newbie when it comes to linux/unix. Any help/advice on how to do this would be appreciated.

Hi,
Essentially you are going to create a textfile with some UNIX commands in it. There are a bunch of internet sites with samples etc.

Do a google search on UNIX CRON etc.
