Running Shell Scripts With Crontab
Crontab allows you to clock and run your own Unix shell scripts automatically. It is available only in Unix-based plans and requires the knowledge of Unix shell commands.
To enable crontab jobs:
1. Select FTP User in the FTP menu.
2. Enable
Crontab
.
3. Agree with charges, if any.
4. Click the
Edit
icon for
Crontab

Commands are executed by cron when the minute, hour, day and month fields match the current time, and when at least one of the two day fields (day of month, or day of week) match the current time. If you want to set any minute, hour, day , enter * symbol.
In the Command box write a command to be executed by cron, i.e. path relative to your root home directory.
The Mail-To address is where the system will direct reports if errors occur.
To delete a job, check the box in the
