I like to use cron as best friend to do a job that periodically need to perform.  In my opinion cpanel hosting provide easy to understand and reliable cron service too. I’ve try a few free cron service out there but I still confident with service provided by cpanel.

To access cron from cpanel you can click “cron jobs” by scroll down on your cpanel.

Cpanel cron provide ‘template’ where you can do simple task. You can run a task every minute, every 5 minutes and so on.

If you want specific time you can arrange it by enter the value inside provided box as you can see from this picture.

Click “Add new cron job” to let system know about it.

What if you don’t have cpanel based cron? You can use service from “Corntab“.

You can enter set the time and corntab will automatically create the result that you can paste to your crontab editor.

Caution :

Use your cron  facility wisely as you need to perform this job in regular. Don’t use short interval too often. Use it as necessary.
