GoDaddy and Cron jobs…help needed

[kamaboko]

Hello,

I have a budget shared hosting account on GoDaddy. I’ve been tyring to run a cron job, but without any luck. Assuming the following, how would I set this thing up?

1. I’m not using a home server. Everything is on GD.
2. Folder structure
   home/username/
   +public_html
   -all documents under public_html(just to get the cron running for now)

GD doesn’t offer support for cron jobs. Lovely. To date I’ve tried the following, and all have failed:

/usr/local/bin/php -q /home/yourCpanelUsername/public_html/cronjob.php

/usr/bin/php -q /home/yourCpanelUsername/public_html/cronjob.php

php /home2/yourCpanelUsername/public_html/cronjob.php

wget webaddress.com/nletter/email_blast.php

Much thanks in advance,
K

Echo out __DIR__ or __FILE__
I have a site at Godaddy and the file path looks like this:
/var/chroot/home/content/[random numbers]/[more random numbers]/html
The random numbers correspond to your user id or something like that
