How to set up crons on JustHost

[xSnipez]

So me and a friend own a game and we're currently improving it and securing it before we release it.

We've only just realised that our energy and stuff isn't going up, we have cron files but the cron panel in the host is too confusing, can anyone help us to set it up so we can release our game?

Screenshot of the crons page?

That's the panel.

Could you show what the options are as that may help?

[xSnipez]

They're the only options.

This looks exactly like every cron panel I have seen. What is confusing about it?

Looks like Cpanel Crons say your cron was

http://yourgame.com/crons/update_daily.php

you just insert into the crons

curl http://yourgame.com/crons/update_daily.php >/dev/null 2>&1 

i prefer to use >/dev/null 2>&1 at the end of it

That's all I'd need to put in? Just that and the cron file name?
