Hey, Okay well I've had previous experience with cron jobs before. I need the advanced mode so I can input the cron, since I don't know how to do it via the basic menu, so please could somebody tell me how to access the advanced menu.

I need to input a cron that looks like this:

* * * * * curl http://yourgameurl.com/

Thanks for your help,

1. Login to Web Panel
2. Click on "Goodies" -> "Cron Jobs"
3. Click on "Add New Cron Job"
4. Make the selected user is correct
5. Type in a title if you want
6. Type in your e-mail address if you want
7. Type in cd /home/user; /usr/bin/curl curl http://yourgameurl.com/
8. Leave the checkbox checked
9. Select Custom
10. Select Every 10 minutes
11. Leave everything else set to Every Hour/Day/Month/Week Day
12. Click on "Add"

There are no "Basic" and "Advanced" menus. DreamHost provides a fancy web page interface or you login to shell and use crontab. You can learn about using crontab on the Wiki.
