Re: Cron

Create a file called 'cront', and inside it put something like:

0 0 * * * lynx -dump http://www.url.com/to/reset_topsites.php

'
upload the file to your home directory, login to telnet and type
'crontab cront'

This would execute the script via lynx at midnight each night.

Hope that helps

That is what I thought I would have to do, but I have no clue on how to do that. I've never tried to use cron with my host before.

Any help on this would be appreciated.

You would just need to write a php script that resets the database (deletes the site ranks or something) once a day... Call the script with cron each day, whenever you want.
