cron problem

[CJM1682]

I am not really familiar with executing cron jobs as i have never done them before. I am trying to get a stats page for my game server up and running and need to run a script to do so. So to start here is some information.

the file i need to execute is located in a folder called stats.

This stats folder was made by logging in via FTp and creating it i did not put it inside any other folders.

i guess wha tim askign is what is the location to the file so i can execute the file i can not seem to find the correct directory structure. any help is appreciated thank you in advance.

Usually, you have to put your files inside public_html directory. Since you say that you have the file inside stats directory, the path will be /home/<yourcpanelusername>/public_html/stats/filename.ext
