Use the following steps to get cron jobs working on a Media Temple Grid Server:
Log into your (mt) AccountCenter and go to your WebControl panel.
Click on the "Cron Jobs" icon to enter the cron configuration page.
Select the "Add a new cron job" button.
Enter an email address for the "Output email". Note:Leave this blank if you don't want constant emails.
Enter the following in the "command to run" text box:
curl http://www.example.com/cron.php
where "example.com" is your domain name.
Under "Scheduling Settings" select how often you want your cron job to run.
Note the Media Temple will not allow a cron job to run more often than "every 5 minutes".
To setup a cron job to run once an hour:
Under the "minutes" entry, specify the minute value on which the cron job will start each hour.
Then select the following radio boxes: hour, day, month, day of the week.
