I purchased a very simple to use shopping cart ready made. I am working on getting the back up for everything and it requires a cron job and I have the script to paste in. However I don't know where to go and find the cron tab. The instructions has the following statements:
Please note: If your web hosting provider doesn't run CPanel or Plesk then you will need to setup the crontab manually. You can either do this yourself or ask your web hosting provider to do it for you.
Most web hosting providers run the CPanel or Plesk hosting control, so we'll learn how to setup a crontab for both of those systems below.
Here is the script it that makes a difference:
/usr/local/bin/php5 -f /hermes/web08/b1309/pow.woodworkingparts/htdocs/shop/admin/cron-backup.php
Can someone tell me where to start looking or what I have to do to set up the cron job. For one thing, I don't don't know what cron is, but that does not make a difference. All I need to do is run the script.
Thanks
Mark
