Hello, I'd like to ask about crons. A simple question if you will. Let's see, I have a cron. If, let's say I type www.game.com/cron.php & press enter, the crons effect should apply, right? I mean the energy, or minute or day should pass?

Whatever is in the script will execute when it is timed to do so on your server. Note that crons are only on Linux. But Linux is typically what is used for PHP and MySQL sites.

Wrong, you can use crons on windows too, just add it as a scheduled task. More detailed instructions here:

I know that Windows has something similar, but they are not technically crons, so someone following along with the crons video would likely be confused if are using a Windows server.
