    How do I set up a cron job to check my database every 5 minutes. I will be using a php. I need to know exactly from the start to the finish on how to do this e.g(crontab etc). My web host is linux.

    Thanks in advance.

    What will you be checking with regards to your database?

    Your steps will basically be:

    1. Code or find a script in php to perform the task you want.

    2. Place the script in your user space.

    3. Enter cPanel and add a cron to run the script at the interval you wish.
