Do you have a Windows machine or a Linux machine   Under Windows cron is called  Scheduled Tasks   It s located in the Control Panel  You can set several scripts to run at specified times in the control panel  Use the wizard to define the scheduled times  Be sure that PHP is callable in your PATH   Under Linux you can create a crontab for your current user by typing   crontab -e  username    If this command fails  it s likely that cron is not installed  If you use a Debian based system  Debian  Ubuntu   try the following commands first   sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install cron   If the command runs properly  a text editor will appear  Now you can add command lines to the crontab file  To run something every five minutes     5           home user test pl   The syntax is basically this    ---------------- minute  0 - 59       ------------- hour  0 - 23         ---------- day of month  1 - 31            ------- month  1 - 12  OR jan feb mar apr                   ---- day of week  0 - 6   Sunday 0 or 7   OR sun mon tue wed thu fri sat                               command to be executed   Read more about it on the following pages  Wikipedia  crontab
