# How do I add a scheduled task (cron)?

The cron tool lets you add scheduled tasks to your hosting. A scheduled task automatically runs a command (or script) on a defined schedule (hourly, weekly, etc.).

* [Log in to your cPanel](https://help.hodi.host/en/article/how-do-i-access-cpanel-en4rsm/)
* In the "**Advanced**" section, choose "**Cron Jobs**"
* Choose the frequency either from the "**Common Settings**" menu or the individual settings below:

* Enter your command, for example:
* `wget -qO /dev/null 'https://www.mapetiteentreprise.re/chemin/cron.php'`
  to call the script located at `https://www.mapetiteentreprise.re/chemin/cron.php` (the quotes are important and must be included)

* `/usr/local/bin/ea-php80 /home/mapetite/public_html/chemin/cron.php`
  to call a PHP script located at `/home/mapetite/public_html/chemin/cron.php` (note: the path must be absolute) using PHP 8.0

* `/home/mapetite/script.sh`
  to call a shell script located at `/home/mapetite/script.sh` (note: the path must be absolute)
  The file must be chmod 755 and contain a [shebang](https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shebang).
