For hosting this site and many others I work with CPanel (hosting control panel). I needed to find out how to set up a Cron Job. A Cron Job is nothing more than a job that runs on a schedule. So you could call a script at a specified time every week or send an email report at the same time every day automatically.

I googled for it and I came across this little show video tutorial of how to set up a cronjob using cpanel

In fact after hunting around a bit I found many more cpanel video tutorials on the same site.
