Basic Cron Help

Hi all newbie here.

I am trying to set up a cron job on a domain hosted on my Plesk 8.0 Virtual Server.

It is a php script.

I am pretty sure I am having a problem with what paths to use.

to run the script would I use...
/usr/bin/php ?
php ?

Then for the file itself what path should I use?
I believe the whole path is...
var/www/vhosts/mydomain.com/httpdocs/phpfiletorun.php

But is this too much for a cron job for a hosted domain?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

PS I also tried wget, usr/bin/wget, etc. and can't get it to do anything.

Stll trying

Nevermind...

Turns out crond isn't started when the server is rebooted.

Thus it wasn't running and wouldn't work...

OOPs!
