    Default Stupid Question about CRON jobs

    Ok... I'm just now starting to really play with Deluxe and have a stupid question regarding the CRON jobs.

    With 5.4 you needed to create the CRON jobs in cPanel because it wasn't built in. With Deluxe they are built in. But after activating it and set a time for it to run, is there anything else that needs to be done? The reason I ask is because I have three CRONs active and yet the date and time last ran hasn't updated. It still shows all zeros.The schedule I've setup is * 23 * * * which should run the job every day at 11:00pm

    I've never used it so I know nothing about it.

    The programmers are offline tonight with no internet access other than one of them using his phone to send me a few messages so I can't ask about it.

    I've emailed Dody about this and when he's back online he should answer it.

    The explaination is in readme.txt

    In order to get cronjob/task manager to work, you need to run one file
    in your webhosting control panel.

    To set daily cron job to update the sitemap
    0 0 * * * GET http://www.domain.com/runcronjob.php > /dev/null

    If you need indexu to check cron schedule every hour, you should
    set it to run hourly.
    0 * * * * GET http://www.domain.com/runcronjob.php > /dev/null
