Dont Understand how to get a Cronjob running | General Questions and Support | Forum Archive

Hi,

I have set up a Cron job in the XCLONER 3.1.1 product and after adding the IP address into it, the execute cron option selected from the backend administrator (settings panels) works. The Available configurations option showed -

cloner.cron.php?config=mywebsite_Cron.php

After manually running it, the following report was shown. -

Using configs/mywebsite_Cron.php as configuration file

ALL DONE! I will exit now from cron.

.

I thought that I had to just go to my control panel and add a CRONTAB entry(so I added the entry below, which I thought would automatically run at 17:34 on every Sunday?

I have tried to read the WIKI, but it really does not help me in understanding how to get this to automatically run.

Please can you help me?
