| cli cron job how to set up |
I am trying to set up a cron job to send daily reminder emails. My host provider is startlogic.com.
I studied the article below and several others to set up a cron job. What I am unclear is where to get the command line interface on my provider control panel. I also looked up easy cron and others. They don't give any specifics about the cron syntax. I studied the article below but he just talks about 'the server' generally and nothing about host providers. What am I missing? http://glennstovall.com/blog/2013/01/07/...deigniter/
If I understand it right this will setup a permanent cron on the hosting server?
thank you includebeer. Putty seems pretty complex. I only need to set up one job. Have you experoence with easycron or other cron providers? This is way more complex than it should be.
Putty is no more complex than a ftp client. It allows you to connect to a server with SSH. Once you're connected, you can enter the command you want: test your script, set up cron jobs etc.
If all you want to do is set up a cron job, then maybe your provider have an option to do that in the control panel. I made a quick search and found this: http://www.startlogic.com/knowledgebase/...cleID=1443 (10-31-2015, 08:19 AM)alfred.laggner Wrote: I am trying to set up a cron job to send daily reminder emails. My host provider is startlogic.com. If you have linux operating system putty is not necessary, just write the following at your terminal. ssh user@server_domain (or ip)
Greetings.
