Hey Guys,
I was just wondering if there was anyway to auto start a process file at 12:00am eveyday without a user going to the page, to keep the site constantly updated?


Thanks

Thanks for that.

All the information I've found says I need to use the command line.. does this mean I can't edit the cron on my webserver without having direct access to the server computer?

You should contact your host to see if they will setup a job for you, or if they have a mechanism in place for you to setup cron jobs.
