hai,
I need to run a set of command at 12am every day. unfortunately I'm not sure how to set the CRON jobs done. I have some idea on time setting and all but not the CRON itself. whenever i execute the CRON directly from ssh, an error "command not found" come out.
thanks, appreciate any help

1. ssh in
2. type crontab -e at the prompt to edit the cronjob file
3. type the following, make sure it's all on one line. Replace your account name and domain name and file u want to run
30 1 * * * /usr/local/bin/php /home/yourusername/yourdoman.com/pathtofiletorun/file.php
