I was trying to view your documentation on how to set up a cronjob with the host Cloudaccess, but all you guys have is a Lorem Ipsum on the page.

I tried looking it up myself and have been completely lost. Can you guys explain how I can set up a Cronjob for EasySocial in Cloudaccess? I used Putty to try and set one up on my own, but it doesn't work (though I didn't get an error on Putty when I created it) and I bet it's because it was done wrong haha.

So if you guys guide me through it I would greatly appreciate it!
Hello Tony,

We have actually spoke with the guys at CloudAccess about this but apparently there's no web interface for you to setup a cronjob on CloudAccess. The only way is for you to setup the cron using terminal / console. If you can provide us with the ssh access, we'll set this up for you.

I actually got it working after much research! Thanks for the response though. This is how I did it: I installed Putty, logged into Putty's SSH using hostname as well as my server username and password from Cloudaccess. I then typed crontab -e, to edit cronjobs, and then pressed the "insert" key on my keyboard to begin editing.

I typed in: @hourly curl http://mydoman.com/index.php?option=com_easysocial&cron=true

I then clicked escape, entered :wq and exited.

Thanks for the help though!
