Please note: Make sure you understand Linux commands before using cron jobs. It is best to verify your script with your server administrator first.

In your cPanel, under "Advanced" section, click on"Cron Jobs":

On next page, add the email address where you want to receive the cron job output each time it runs:

Click "Update Email" to save changes.

Choose how often the cron job should run by selecting an option from the Common Settings menu or by entering a custom schedule.

Selecting a common setting automatically fills in all fields except the Command field

In this screenshot, the Twice Per Day preset is selected. This cron job is set to run twice per day, at 12:00 AM and 12:00 PM, every day of the month, every month, regardless of the weekday:

• Minute 0 means it runs at the very start of the hour

• Hour 0,12 means midnight and noon

• Day * means every day

• Month * means every month

• Weekday * means every day of the week

If you want to manually set the timing fields to control exactly when the cron job runs, select in each field:

• Minute
• Hour
• Day
• Month
• Weekday

If you want, use * to mean “every”.

Example:
Runs every day at midnight
Minute: 0
Hour: 0
Day: *
Month: *
Weekday: *

This schedule runs the cron job once per day at exactly midnight, regardless of the date, month, or day of the week.
