I wanted to write this article for a long time but I never had the chance to do it. Today, I had to install the GD library on two different Ubuntu servers so I had to dig up my notes about this.
I purchased a new Linode yesterday and started to do some experiment with Mercury. I used the knowledge I gained when I setup the 5280's server.

crontab
This will give you a summary of crontab's commands and switches.
To list your cronlist type:
crontab -l
and to edit the list:
crontab -e
If this is the first time you edit the crontab, it will ask you which editor you would like to use.
If you are unsure, use google to find out which editor is the best for you.
Inside the editor, add the following line to the end of the list:
*/5 * * * * /usr/bin/wget -O - -q -t 1 http://[your server url]/cron.php
This will execure the cron.php in every 5 minutes.
Here is a diagram of the general crontab syntax, for illustration:
* in the value field above means all legal values as in braces for that column. The value column can have a * or a list of elements separated by commas. An element is either a number in the ranges shown above or two numbers in the range separated by a hyphen (meaning an inclusive range).* * * * * [command to be executed]
