At home I am using a similar sort batch job construction that look like below:
0 * * * /home/sites/siteXXX/web/phpAds/maintenance/maintenance.php >/dev/null I skipped "/usr/bin/php" from crontab and added this to the first line in file maintenance.php I am not sure that I included a #! before the "/usr/bin/php". I will check this tonight or tomorrow (My company blocks the SSH port number). Independend from this problem you must check or the execute permissions are set correctly :-). Other issue(s) to think about: * In case of using such crontab job, the while directories must be specified in the crontab entry and probably in the files you are calling. * I found out that it is not possble to create jpg/png images using this sort of batch processing process. In that cases I included a web-link, so the image where created by Apache. It seems that the GD-library is build in as a Apache module or something like that. It seems it is possible to change this, but at this moment I am not such a fan of changing a perfect working development system. * In case a file is not found in crontab, the a mail is send to the user/administrator of that site/server. Can you find something about it?
