Re: [PHP] Crontab PHP Script

[Tim Traver]

Not sure if this is different in linux, but usually the first parameter is 
the minutes, and if you had 01 in it, that means that it would do it once 
an hour (i.e. 12:01, 1:01, 2:01, etc...

They should all have stars to do it once a minute.
In freeBSD, it would look like this :
*       *       *       *       root    /usr/local/bin/php 
home/httpd/vhosts/tgwedding.com/httpdocs/tgwedding/crontab.php

Hi,

Can someone please give me some guidance.  I'd like to run a php script
every minute (in reality every night, but just testing).  I've done some
reading and found that a crontab is the best way to go (I think).  I'm using
Plesk 7 on a Linux box and I have root access.

I made a quick php script called crontab.php to email me.

==============================================================
<?php                           //send email on domain
                                    /* subject */
                                    $str_subject = "crontab test";

                                    /* message */
                                    $messagecontent = "this is a test to see
if crontab working nightly\n\n";

                                    /* to */
                                    $to = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]";

                                    /* from */
                                    $headers .= "From: tgWedding
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>\r\n";

                                    /* bcc */
            //                      $headers .= "Bcc:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]";

                                    mail($to, $str_subject, $messagecontent,
$headers);
?>


Then I setup my crontab command as:
/home/httpd/vhosts/tgwedding.com/httpdocs/tgwedding/crontab.php
<https://217.160.251.56:8443/sysuser/crontab_edit.php?cte_src=CTEJKgkqCSoJKg
kvaG9tZS9odHRwZC92aG9zdHMvdGd3ZWRkaW5nLmNvbS9odHRwZG9jcy90Z3dlZGRpbmcvY3Jvbn
RhYi5waHA=>


I used " * " for every field except M, which I set to " 01 " to run every
minute.


It's not working...can someone guide me along and let me know what I've done
wrong.

Thanks,
Ryan
