Use PHP Cron Jobs with cPanel

cPanel Simple Cron

you can get started with the simple cron tool built into cPanel. The url for it is:

https://www.yoursite.com/page.php

The command to run:

/usr/local/bin/php -f /home/(username)/public_html/page.php

Next you'll want to select an option from all the select boxes. Remember to select an option in each box. If you want something to run every hour, select Minute: 60; Hour:Every; Day: Every; Month: Every; Weekday: Every;

Click save and you are all set! You'll get an email every time the cron job runs, but if you don't want to get it - put :blackhole: into the output email field at the top.
