How to setup your Linux server to execute a php script every minute

Question

How can I setup my Linux server to execute a particular php-script automatically every minute?

Thank you.

I was curious if the first search result on google for the title of this question was a page about crontab.. and it was :) — mishu

Under linux you can use crontab by specifying full path of your script, for example:

*/2 * * * * /usr/bin/php /home/biji/script.php

Or if you put the script on web, you can use wget

*/2 * * * * wget http://yourserver/script.php -O /dev/null

If you need more enterprise solution, you can use job queue using zend server (but it will be costly):
