Here's a step-by-step guide on how to set up a cron job in cPanel:
1. Log in to your cPanel account using your username and password.
2. Once you are logged in, scroll down to the "Advanced" section and click on "Cron Jobs".
3. On the "Cron Jobs" page, choose the interval at which you want the cron job to run. You can choose from predefined intervals (such as "Every Minute", "Every Hour", "Every Day", etc.) or you can create a custom interval by selecting "Custom" and entering the appropriate values.
4. In the "Command" field, enter the command you want the cron job to run. This can be any command or script that you want to automate. For example, if you want to run a PHP script every hour, you would enter the following command:
php /home/username/public_html/myscript.php
Replace "username" with your cPanel username and "myscript.php" with the name of your script.
5. Click on the "Add New Cron Job" button to create the cron job.
6. Once the cron job is created, you will see a confirmation message. You can now check the "Current Cron Jobs" section to see the status of your cron job.
That's it! You have now successfully set up a cron job in cPanel. Note that you can create multiple cron jobs if you need to automate multiple tasks.
