    I want to create a cron job that can do a Session Garbage Collection, and it is recommended by php.net, here is the page from php.net (EXAMPLE #1) PHP: session_gc - Manual. I don't have a good knowledge about Linux's commands.

    Please help me, I need it, thanks.


    EDIT: In Cron Jobs - Documentation - cPanel Documentation, where do I put >/dev/null 2>&1 ? Before or after the php script?

    It should be in this format:

    mycommand >/dev/null 2>&1
