Hi Helloise, 1. Create a file /home/rainbowcode/rainbowcode.sh as your script. 2. Change the permission to 755: $ chmod 755 /home/rainbowcode/rainbowcode.sh 3. Make sure that file contains the correct executable line complete with the argument, e.g.: #!/bin/sh /usr/bin/php /home/rainbowcode/DB-Query-Script.php rainbowcode yesterday mymailaddress 4. Test that command if it works the way you want: $ /home/rainbowcode/rainbowcode.sh 5. Edit the cron job using crontab command (you can forget the file /etc/cron.d/RC-Cron.txt): $ crontab -e 6. Make sure you enter proper cron command in the cron editor, e.g.: MAILTO=mymailaddress 5 8 * * * /home/rainbowcode/rainbowcode.sh
You may need to understand some vi command to use the default editor for crontab, otherwise you need to change the editor to something you're familiar with. And that's it! You should avoid executing cron script as root unless you really know what you're doing.
