Cron job working via cpanel

How to run the php file from cron job via cpanel?
Here it is:
1. login to your cpanel
2. click cron icon
3. click standar
4. enter your email address for reporting if the cron is failed
5. choose the time what you want
6. enter the command, it depends on your server hosting.

the command should be like this:


curl -s -o /dev/null http://yourdomain.com/your_script.php

if curl is disable form your hosting service, you can use another way, with this:

lynx -dump http://
yourdomain.com/your_script.php > /dev /null

if curl and lynx is disable form your hosting service, you can use another way, with this:

/usr/bin/wget -O - /home/your_username/public_html/script.php

or

GET http://yourdomain.com/your_script.php > /dev /null

if curl, lynx and wget is disable form your hosting service, you can use another way, with this:

in the your_script.php file put this at the top the first line before anything:

!#/usr/bin/php

and use this cron command

php -f /home/your_username/public_html/your_script.php

note:
file your_script.php should chmod 755
and the /home/your_username/ is your path on server.

if you have still problem, like "
No input file specified. ", please try this:

links http://yourdomain.com/your_script.php

done...
