hosting. How do I access the CRONTAB? I have a job that needs to run on a daily basis. My server is a shared hosting server which means I cannot see any files other than my own. I have various CGI scripts running within my own area of the server.
To edit the CRONTAB I need to know how to access it. Where is it? I do not have any tools available to activate a LINUX based command line or direct access to the cgi-bin.
Do I need a script? Access to the server? or just a plain miracle.
I have contacted my host and they keep sending instructions. But most assume a level of knowledge of LINUX beyond the realms of normal Windows people.
Please don't copy and paste web pages that state 'Access the crontab -e" - I think I have read them all and still do not know what on earth they are talking about when looking at my server/control panel.
