Better instructions needed to understand how to get cron job working

[perplexed]

Hi Daniel

I loaded the shop mod at the weekend, and its really cool.

I have smf 1.1 rc2

I have cpanel and cron jobs on it

I followed your instructions on the download mod page on the smf forum ... ' in order to get the bank interest working.... do this' etc

i put the code in the cron job (changing the username, forum name etc) to run every day at midnight but it has not worked

Can you please advise how to get this to work

I'm not sure how often you check this forum but it would be good if you could reply soon

I also submitted a support ticket on Sunday 12th for another problem and it remains 'open' and not assigned.

Thanks for your help

I'm really sorry about that. I have school during the week, and free time is fairly limited. I'll look at it tommorow, about this time.

Make sure you're typing the cPanel command correctly. It should look like:

/usr/bin/php -q /home/username/public_html/forum/sources/Shop/dointerest.php > /home/username/public_html/forum/interest_log.htm

username is your cPanel username, and forum is the directory you placed your forum in. Set this to run every day at midnight. If you're still having trouble, I'll make some screenshots for you.
