Ok, i must of read at least 30 something posts, and i cant seem to find the answer to get my cron working, on godaddy, though i see people say they have got it to work...

I first need to know what i need to put in the command line, GoDaddy has cron jobs now with command lines... )

Yes I was able to get it to work. The key is the version of php or whatever programming language you are using. That will determine the first part of your string. Here is my cron job for the RSSC module of XOOPS that I have setup with my GoDaddy account:

/web/cgi-bin/php -q -f /var/chroot/home/content/Y/O/U/HostedAccount/html/<site root path>/rssc/bin/refresh.php password

Replace the "Y/O/U/HostedAccount/html/<site root path>/" with your specific hosted account information. Then replace the "password" at the end with the password you have setup within RSSC for cron.

***VISIT http://help.godaddy.com/article/58 for GoDaddy's explanation of what your absolute path is****

The first part "/web/cgi-bin/php" is for PHP 4. Here are the other possible Godady executable paths:

Shell: /bin/sh
Perl : /usr/bin/perl
PHP4: /web/cgi-bin/php
PHP5: /web/cgi-bin/php5

Here's another example Cron Job:

/web/cgi-bin/php /home/content/youraccount/html/run_cron.php

Also See The Following Post: http://forums.pligg.com/general-help...html#post54631
It contains an example of an RSS cron for Pligg

Hope that helps.
