To schedule a cron job in cPanel, you have two main options: use predefined intervals or manually set a custom schedule.
If you prefer a quick setup, you can choose a common time interval from the dropdown menu—such as Every Minute, Once an Hour, or Once a Day. This option is ideal for basic tasks and saves time.
For more precise control, you can manually fill in the five time fields:
- Minute
- Hour
- Day of the Month
- Month
- Day of the Week
Customizing these fields allows you to specify exactly when and how frequently your cron job should run, ensuring it fits your specific requirements and workflow.
