Awesome code, I don't understand where you got this code but I tried to apply on my cron job

I read in its description for cron style

Use the UNIX crontab format "minute hour day-of-month month day-of-week". For example "0 22 * * 1-5". Plesk will use the default system time zone to run the task.

but still could not clarify how to have /5 in this */5 * * * *

You can use any of the below command -

*/5 * * * * php -q /var/www/vhosts/yourwebsitename.com/httpdocs/cron.php

or

*/5 * * * * curl -s -o /dev/null http:/yourwebsitename.com/www.example.co.nz/cron.php

Below is the description -

Minute: */5
Hour: *
Day of the Month: *
Month: *

For some of the users, they don't have cron on server, or the server limits the cron use. In those cases, EasyCron is an option. To those who don't know how to use crontab, EasyCron is a great alternative
