cron job problem?

Hi there,

I have done a script that allow to grab something from a website and put in on a text file, after that I launch a cleaner (remove duplicate content)

my script work as I want manually

but since I dont get a lot of experience in cronjob, I'm using the cPanel cronjob

so the point:

I need first to launch the get.php - this php code, will check the url in list.txt and after that write the result in list2.txt

second cron job after a several minute, will need to run clean.php who need to have acces to list2.txt and remove the duplicate content from list2.txt and writte on this file

I get sometrouble to runing this, nobody have an idea of what argument I need to put on my cronjob activity?

thanks

you have several options i'll show you only two which is working for me in 100%

1)add path to your script example: /public_html/folder_ONE/myscripts/yourscript.php
2)curl --silent --compressed curl http://yourdomain.com/yourscript.php

there are several methods to go:
1. use "wget" or "curl" in a cronjob (as already stated above)
2. there are websites out there which provide cronjob services (open a url in regular periods)
3. you can create a linux typical cronjob in /etc/cron.d/<something_here> which will open the php command line binary which will then parse your code. that whould produce no traffic at all

cpanel cronjobs can be installed as already posted above. i hope this helps

Make a shell script..
