Dreamhost enables cron jobs on Web panel
Posted by webstuffscan on May 4th, 2007
Dreamhost is a good hosting service and I have been using it for a while (not this site). One of the cool features of dreamhost account is the ability to create scheduled cron jobs using a shell account. This required a bit of “linux” knowledge like using the command “crontab -e”.
Not anymore! Dreamhost panel now contains an option to setup cron jobs directly. Check out the following screenshot from the Web panel,
But it is not perfect yet. One problem I came across is that the jobs setup using “crontab -e” doesn’t appear on the Web panel.

cPanel has been offering cron jobs via the Control Panel for quite a while now.
This is what I don’t like about hosts having their control panel. I always get a cPanel host because of the features and ease of use.
