Body: <p>How do I setup cron (via cPanel) to execute, specifically membership statuses? I.e. I know how to get to cPanel's cron management, but not sure how I tell that cron management tool to execute the membership status cron as setup inside of drupal.  An example for doing that (and to run all of them) would be nice. :-)</p>
  
  <p>I've read the CiviCRM manual for membership status AND watched the cPanel video, but really need an example for doing specifically the above, and with that information I think I can construct all the others I need.</p>

  I've expanded Kainuk's SOLUTION here (thanks Kainuk!): To start executing civicrm jobs without doing them one-time-only as done with Sheduled Jobs List (Civicrm > Administer > System Settings > Scheduled Jobs), then its easiest just to install drupal's module, [civicrm\_cron](http://www.drupal.org/project/civicrm_cron) and it will automatically start executing the jobs on your scheduled jobs list. This is much easier than doing this at the command line or inside of cPanel. For even finer grain control of your scheduled jobs, you can use [elysia cron](http://www.drupal.org/project/elysia_cron).
