I have a shared account and want to set up a cron job to run a script once a day.

Way I understand it, you go to cpanel > Cron jobs > Standard and then choose the times you want.

My question is, what do I put into the box labelled ‘Command to run’? Do I just put in the path to the script I want to run, like this?

http://www.mydomain.com/directory/scriptname.php

Or is it something else altogether?

I know zip about unix, linux, C, php and anything else you care to mention!

Your help is much appreciated!
