What should I do guys cause my hosting says they don't support cron-jobs?

Can the script work without it? If not they what are the alternatives?

Thanks buddy.
One more question? How many cron executions does this script make per day? Also what features depend on it? I mean what will stop working if I don't set it up. The script seems to work OK.

You and users won't get any notifications, you as an admin won't be able to do mass mailing, users will stay online even if they log out from the website.

Which script are you taking about?

Ross have explained that will happen if corn is not properly setup in your oxwall site!

Marcus, the cron running depends on what you have indicated in the cron command we recommend to run it from every minute to every 5 minutes

A third party webcron may be a good option for you. Check out a tutorial at
