i am confuse where correct tutorial for using cron job, i had looking dreamhost wiki and this forum but i still cannot setup working cronjob




i setup cronjob in dreamhost panel --> goodies --> cronjobs

Command to run : /home/.juice/username/domain.com/directory/files.php

When to run : Hourly






this is the file that need to call from cron job




<?php

$dir = "tmp_cvrt_videos/";

// Files older than this number of hours will be deleted
$age = 1; // Hours

$threshold_stamp = time() - $age*3600;

if (is_dir($dir))
{
if ($dh = opendir($dir))
{
while (($file = readdir($dh)) !== false)
{
if (is_file($dir.$file))
{
//echo "$file was last accessed(created): " . date ("F d Y H:i:s", filemtime($dir.$file))."<br />";

if ($threshold_stamp > filemtime($dir.$file))
{
// delete file
@unlink($dir.$file);

//echo " Delete file: $file <br />";

}
}
}
closedir($dh);
}
}
else echo "No Files Dir found";











?>
