Cron Job Command Format in Cpanel

Here we will show you some easy cron job format to put into Cpanel command field so that you can activate your cron jobs on your Cpanel server.

NOTE: to prevent your cron sending you an email, at the end of the command put the following code.

>/dev/null 2>&1

We use this one quite a lot as its easy to view exactly where and which domain its on. The nice thing about this one is that you can put a remote url in the cron command.

/usr/bin/curl --user-agent YOURCRONNAME https://www.yourdomain.com/something.php >/dev/null 2>&1

This is a general use if you want to hide the cron script from the public eye.

/usr/local/bin/php /home/jucra/public_html/path/to/cron/script
