Re: newbie:cronjob

"automatic update the document become active after all the related document become active." unsure what your meaning here. cron is used to run a script once and hour/day/week/month etc, you can spec it differnet, but this is a standard system. on my redhat system /etc/cron.daily/ just place a file in there /etc/cron.daily/backup set the execuatable bit chmod +x /etc/cron.dail/backup edit the file nano /etc/cron.daily/backup put some stuff in there. /usr/local/bin/php -q /home/httpd/vhosts/somesite/somefile.php put some stuff in /home/httpd/vhosts/somesite/somefile.php <?php phpinfo(); ?> have fun. -- Chris Lee Mediawaveonline.com ph. 250.377.1095 ph. 250.376.2690 fx. 250.554.1120 lee@mediawaveonline.com "Wen Ni Leong" <wnleong@mail.tke.po.my> wrote in message news:3A9DCCBB.FE1E1A7D@mail.tke.po.my...
