Right as I was typing out how to write a crontab entry.

Oh, shoot! I have the cron job part done (automatically through Godaddy), but the issue now is getting the command line right :/

Usually you have to put the whole path to the executable. In most cases cron runs under a different shell, and the PATH environment variable isn't there.

Didn't see this last reply. Thank you, guys; we were able to get it all sorted.
