Cron command paths help

jlb2112

I am trying my best to set up a cron job on godaddy. What exactly do I need to insert in the Command field? I am looking here http://osticket.com/wiki/POP3/IMAP_Settings(http://osticket.com/wiki/POP3/IMAP_Settings) and the best thing I can figure is to enter */5 * * * * nobody /path/to/php /path/to/api/cron.php in the command field. Is this correct?

If so, what do I put in the path/to/php and path/to/api/cron.php?

Any (detailed) help is appreciated.

Thx!

php will probably be:

/usr/bin/php

path to api cron, depends on your server.. the job will run as "nobody" so you can't use relative paths (like ~/webroot/..), this means you need to know the "full path", for instance: /var/www/subdomains/www.mydomain.com/htdocs/ostickets/api/cron.php

I'll give that a try. Many thanks!
