Hello all!
I have installed Google XML sitemap by Chemo. All seems to work fine until I got to this line in the install.:

Once you have verified the data quality it's time to setup the CRON so the system is maintained automatically. I'll be using cPanel for this and if you use a different domainCP please ask your host for specific directions.

The first step is to login to your cPanel and find the CRON menu

The next step is to select the "advanced" menu. The reason is that everything is already setup as default and all you have to do is enter the command + path to index.php.

Notice that the default CRON time setting is to execute every day at midnight. For most this is perfectly acceptable and makes it easier to create this task. The only thing left to do is enter the command.

CRON Command:php /path/to/googlesitemap/index.php <= change the path!

Change the path to the correct location! On Linux based servers it will ALWAYS start with a forward slash.

This is where I am lost. I don't really know what I need to do. Does anyone know what I should do now? Where do I enter this command?
Always greatful,
Moon

Yes, you do. User "extras" has a tool to help set up cron jobs, or find the PW tutorial on it.
