Magento Cron Jobs

I’m trying to set a Magento site to run a cron job.

At first I thought I could just put cron.php in the command box, but obviously, that is wrong.

The instructions are to use the following:
[SIZE=12px][FONT=Arial] /path/to/php /home/myname/public_html/magento/cron.php[/FONT][/SIZE]

I know the path to the home directory is: /hsphere/local/home/mydomain/mydomain.com

[SIZE=12px][FONT=Arial]Since I do not know how to access our servers with SSH, how do I find out my path/to/php?[/FONT][/SIZE]

You can use below format to setup cron:
/hsphere/shared/php5-2/bin/php-cli -q

For Example:-

/hsphere/shared/php5-2/bin/php-cli -q /hsphere/local/home/mydomain/mydomain.com/cron.php
