Hi, I have a file on my server that i need to set up to flash once a day if i can.   by flash i mean clear it and reset it.  

its a html file that contains my text from my site chat, as people chat the file builds up with text, minimun once a day i need to clear all the chat text out of this file so it does not build up.

first how is this done, thru htaccess or cron or what

second, is this hard do set up for the average person, i have done some reading and wow what i found was pages of complicated script, there has to be an easier way.

third, is is better to just clear the file, or create an archive and rename it to archive each time..

thanks

ok thanks so here in what i have in the cp cron job command line entry



the file is named msg.html that i want to refresh.
and that address is ok right, i mean i dont need to use the litteral address with server name right. just the domain is fine.
does that look correct to you?

afterthought should i make a new blank file and name it freshcopy.html
