Crontab issues

Ryan_Sanders

Ok. I am using CPanel to add crontabs.

I want this crontab to access a file, every 15 minutes. The file will grab data, and insert it into a database.

I am doing everything right, atleast I think so.

Command to run:
/home/username/public_html/folder/job1.php

Minutes: Every 15 Minutes
Hours: Every hour
Months: Every month
Days: Every day
Weekdays: Every weekday

No matter what I have tried.. I can't get it to work. I have tried changing to every minute. I use to use these crontabs and used them successfully, but I am having no success right now.

Any help would be appreciated.

Uhh.. How do you remove them? Do you put a zero or something? Right now, I have s. I would figure you would need a .

Standard, Unix-like (Vixie?) Cron?

Here's a sample:

#min    hr      day     mon     weekday         command

# a one time job

01      16      8       9       *               /bin/rm /www/www.mysite.org/docs/foo.zip

# Do this every 15 minutes

*/15      *     *     *     *               /usr/local/bin/php -q /home/scripts/something.php

HTH,
