Setting up the System Cron Job for Magneto
Now that you have Magento installed, you will notice that in your html directory are to files called [cron.php] and [cron.sh].
These two files do the same process - activate the Magento internal cron.
Of the two, the one I have found to work the best is cron.php
By default cron.sh pulls or runs cron.php, so lets just take a step out of the process.
To setup your cron from the command line, you would run
crontab -e
Then insert the cron to run every 5 mins, default suggested by Magento
*/5 * * * * /usr/bin/php -f /the/path/to/cron.php
You can also use the cron.sh file
*/5 * * * * /bin/bash -f /the/path/to/cron.sh
Now check and make sure the cron is running as scheduled
Now that you have setup the system you can check to make sure its working.
tail -f /var/log/cron | grep 'cron'
