cron jobs question

[rafe43119]

how do I add a cron job to my wordpress blog? I have a plugin that I want to use and in order to make it work right I have to add some code and create a cron job but I have never done anything like this before. The plugin instructions say I have to add a line of code into my crontab but I don't know what that means. Any help would be much appreciated! thanks

look in your cpanel , there will be an cron icon

does crons work in free hosts ?

If you don't know about cron jobs, maybe better don't touch your server settings. Ask your host to implement it for you.

on free hostings will not work correctly, most of them have restrictions.

Get a good host, and if you don't know anything about programming, try and talk with the host support, or a friend

that was helpful i tried many free hostings they dont work , no i'm not programmer

ive seen crons work in freehosts

interesting , where i can find working one ?


ps: free hosting dont offer shell access so am allowed to use the cron from cp

now when i go to cron logs i see some of them are done ,sometimes i'm trying to delete files at schedule but nothing happened .

is this code problem in php/ perl file ?

crons and freehosts, yea too much of a headache, there are restrictions and blocks that can make u stumble in too many ways, its a lot easier to get a payed host
