RE: [PHP] Crontab PHP Script

[Ryan Schefke]

Just some closure on my crontab question:

1 - Since my linux box has Plesk 7 (PSA) and it already had php installed on
it I guess php is installed in the "/usr/local/psa/admin/bin/php" directory.
Pretty sure atleast since the below crontab command is now executing my
script:
/usr/local/psa/admin/bin/php
/home/httpd/vhosts/tgwedding.com/httpdocs/tgwedding/crontab.php

I believe traditionally php is installed in "/usr/local/bin/php" but I could
be wrong...this is what was throwing me off.

2 - Tim, you were right, all stars will make the crontab run every minute on
my linux box

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

Plesk 7 on a Linux box and I have root access.

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

==

/* subject */
$str_subject = "crontab test";

/* message */
$messagecontent = "this is a test to see

$to = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]";

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


Then I setup my crontab command as:
/home/httpd/vhosts/tgwedding.com/httpdocs/tgwedding/crontab.php



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,

You need to add #!/usr/bin/php
At the start of your script so it knows how to run it.  You will also
need to set the permission bits to allow execution 
chmod 700

Change the path to where you have the cli version of php on your system.

Then I setup my crontab command as:
/home/httpd/vhosts/tgwedding.com/httpdocs/tgwedding/crontab.php
The crontab command should be:
/path/to/php /path/to/your/crontab.php
Add -q parameter if the php executable is cgi and not cli
