Hi. Its just a guess, but i load my php files in the web directory and run them from the browers. You should get the cron directory from your hosting provider along with instructions on file naming conventions. Hope this was of some help.

You can save it wherever you like, to execute it though...

/usr/bin/php your_php_file.php

In live, I am using CI, in my cron script I want to use CI and my own library. So I think, it must be save in some controller? or any other folder? If I save cron code in controller then how can I execute from command line? I hope now you got it my exact question.
