Cron Job help...how to write this command?
 

So I'm new to Linux and Cron jobs etc.

I'm using cPanel X to create a cron job..

how do I make it edit a line of code in a file?

hi
for cron job
you need to follow the steps


chkconfig crond on
service crond restart


crontab -e -u root ---- this is for creating cron for a user *** here user is root you can give any name

#min Hour DoM Month Dow command
0 4 * * 1,3,5 mail -s "boo" $LOGNAME < boo.txt


this particular cron will send a message to the logged user a message from boo.txt on mon wed and fri every 4 hours

I guess you're not familiar with the cron job manager in cpanel...

here's what it looks like.
