How do I start a Cronjob that loads a page?

[Petal]

I would like to start a Cronjob on the server that loads a page every day at 12 pm. How do i start this cronjob on a linux server with telnet?

Please help me!

Maybe this is not the right forum for this question. Which forum is the right? Jørn Arild Andenæs

i don't know what you mean with page loading, but after logging in on the server, just issue "crontab -e" and add there your new job, something like
0 0 * * * <your command>

and what forum? probably Linux(client/desktop)

Yep, type &quot;crontab -e&quot; and put in a line for the script you wish to run.

If PHP is installed as a command-line executable, you want (something like) this for 12pm daily:

12 0 * * * /usr/bin/php /path/to/page.php

If not, you can do it using lynx:

12 0 * * * /usr/bin/lynx

http://path/to/page.php

If you've only got a telnet account tho, you might not have crontab access :-(
