I made a php file that fetches weather info from a METAR site.
I want it to run automatically every hour, so that it uploads data to my database.
On my website I got Cpanel, which enables me to run cron jobs, I just don't know how to go ahead.
What command do I need to issue to launch for instance "lynx" to that URL every hour?
Is there a better way to do it?
