So I have this laravel web application installed on a Dreamhost server. At the admin end I was given this line of code at the beginning

Please Set Cron Job Now
To automate the return interest, we need to set the cron job and make sure the cron job is running properly. Set the Cron time as minimum as possible. Once per 5-15 minutes is ideal while once every minute is the best option.

curl -s https://capitalmaxoptions.com/cron

How do I go about this? Does it go into the kernel.php file?

My Answer:
To set up a cron job for your Laravel web application on a Dreamhost server, you can follow these steps:

1. Log in to your Dreamhost account and navigate to the Cron Jobs section.
2. Create a new cron job and set the command to the following:

curl -s https://capitalmaxoptions.com/cron

3. Set the frequency of the cron job to run every 5-15 minutes or every minute, depending on your preference.
4. Save the cron job and make sure it is running properly.

You do not need to modify the kernel.php file for this cron job. Simply set it up through the Dreamhost control panel as described above. This command will make a request to the specified URL, triggering the necessary actions in your Laravel application.
