You will need to edit your crontab and add similar line:
*/ 5 * * * * / absolute / path / to / php5 - f / absolute / path / to / magento / cron . php
*/5 means that magento’s cron processor will be invoked every 5 minutes - can be fine tuned.

thanks

jac31885 ,
What they are saying is that you need to add an entry to your cron tab that runs cron.php every 5 minutes.
This can usually be done in your hosting control panel.

If your host uses cPanel, there’s a cron manager in there that’s pretty self-explanatory. Otherwise, SitePoint has an introduction to cron article that might be of some help:
