Carrie,
If I have a script that I want to have ran at say 5:30 am, how would I tell
cron to run that as a perl script. I tried
5 30 * * * perl /home/sites/site2/web/stats/awstats.pl
But that didn't do it.
I remember seeing something about using #bin/?? Or other.
Help:)
I want run a cron on all the awstats files since that seems to be it's
weakness, files build up.
