    This will run the job every night at midnight.

    Here's what that job would look like in cpanel:

    cPanel cron configuration

  2. On my Ubuntu 10.04 LTS server, automysqlbackup.sh included a cronjob. This is what it looks like. It's very simple.

    $ cat /etc/cron.daily/automysqlbackup
#!/bin/sh
test -x /usr/sbin/automysqlbackup && /usr/sbin/automysqlbackup

    So, automysqlbackup runs as part of the Daily cronjobs. The schedule for the daily cronjobs can be seen in /etc/crontab.
