How to run a cronjob manually/external in a URL link?

Hello,
Now I need run the below Cronjob ( in the screenshot ) in a URL link which means using this website to run the Cronjob because as we all know in the free webhosting not allow to run Cronjob.

So , is there any option to run the Cronjob manually or external either with the above method or any other methods

one more thing what is meaning with system’s crontab.<<<

Thanks in advance

We don’t provide the ability to run cron jobs on our hosting, we don’t support setting up cron jobs, and we have actively put measures in place to prevent the use of external cron jobs.

So I’m sorry to say that you will not be able to run scheduled commands on our hosting.

Setting up cron jobs is only supported on premium hosting.

Every Linux system has a so-called “crontab”, which is basically a list of specific system commands or scripts that are run on specific intervals. According to the screenshot, they want you to setup another such command that runs a PHP script every minute.

These instructions assume that you manage the server yourself so you have access to the system crontab. This is true if you have a VPS for example, but not on web hosting.

On premium hosting, you cannot edit the crontab directly, but cPanel does provide a way to configure such commands to be run on your hosting.

Because this is a system command, you cannot use external cron job services. That only works if the cron job is called using a web URL (like with WordPress). The cronjob you see involves running a PHP script directly as a system command, not a web URL, so it must be run on the server itself. Unless you create a separate web endpoint to trigger this command.
