Configuring cron jobs in Cpanel

Cpanel controls domains. WHM, Web Host Manager, is the Cpanel product for controlling domains in a Virtual Private Server. If there is no cron option in your Cpanel, you may have to add cron in WHM. Cron may be in different places in the various Cpanel themes. In the Crimson smoke theme, you select Advanced then Cron jobs.

You are offered the option of standard or an advanced Unix style user interface. You may see an error message similar to the following.
/usr/bin/crontab permissions are wrong. Please set to 4755

The Unix style interface dumps you in a page where you can enter a command the same as described on the main Configuring cron jobs page.

The standard page lets you select the number of minutes, hours, days, or months from selection lists.
