Can cPanel Cron jobs be set up to run daily job?

I've been using the automatic daily job on my website but I'm sure it probably overloading my server as I get between 150,000 and 250,000 ad views per day for 8 banner ads.

So is it possible to set up the daily job via Cron job in cPanel? Here's what I have.

Thanks
Nigel

The command is correct, only in the hour field should be the value 0, not 1. I however can't say if the GET command works on your server, you need to test it. I can assist if needed.

Thanks. I'll give it a try and see what happens. If you don't here from me again you it worked.

Update: I set the daily job up using the Lynx statement after doing a "whereis Lynx" command to get the path.

The daily job appears to have run according to the reset / rebuild page so I'm good to go.

Thanks for your support and a great script.
