Hi, and thanks for the tutorial. I am new at Magento. I want Magento update my sitemap every day. I found in this site http://www.magentocommerce.com/wiki/3_-_store_setup_and_management/seo/creating_google_sitemaps_for_magento_sites that I have to set up a cron job to do this. Can you make a tutorial for setting up a cron job for updating sitemap?
Best regards

When you setup CRON, regardless of your country settings in your application (in our case Magento); CRON file will be executed as per the server time which might be hosted in USA or somewhere else. You need to ask your hosting company and discuss this issue.

I think you will need to edit your crontab and add following line:

*/5 * * * * /absolute/path/to/php5 -f /absolute/path/to/magento/cron.php

*/5 means that magento’s cron processor will be invoked every 5 minutes. You can change this value as per your requirement.

Double check your server local time as your CRON is entirely dependent on server time along with your Store defaults. What is the country region you have selected for your store?
