I need to run a cron job at 12:01 AM EST every night, I can't find it in the CPANEL... does this feature exist?

I think I turned it off for standard accounts because nobody was using it, I'll go check.

depends on the type of site. thebiggestboards needs to run a script ever so often to get the posts and members. I need to insert 0 values on one of my sites at a certain time everty morning to keep tally of my reps sales.

As mat mentioned, on thebiggestboards.com it is kind of the alarm clock for the script that goes out and gets the stats. it tells the script when to go do its thing. Again, most people just never need to use anything like this.
