How to Setup and Manage Cron Jobs in cPanel

Accepted Answer

In this tutorial, you'll learn how to setup and manage cron jobs in cPanel. Cron jobs allow you to automate certain commands or scripts on your site. You can set a command or script to run at a specific time every day, week, etc.

Setup and Manage Cron Jobs

Log into cPanel, then click the Cron Jobs option.

You can have cron job(s) send an email every time they run a command that has an output.

Now you have to define exactly when and how often you want the cron job to run. This is made easier by using one of the pre-defined or common settings.

This also helps you understand what each field means. For this example, we'll choose the cron to run once per day.

Next, enter the command of the script you want to run, including the path.

Remember to add a space between the binary and the path. In the example below, note the space between php and /home.

/usr/bin/php /home/username/script.php

When you're done, click Add New Cron Job.

That's it! You've added a cron job successfully. You can either create more or edit and delete existing jobs under the Current Cron Jobs area.
